Episode 56: Passing the Turing Test

In this episode, Peter talks about the Turing test, developed by Alan Turing in 1950, as a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human, and why he believes Google Duplex has conquered this feat. Dan and Peter discuss the implications of technology like this, when AI’s master realistic voice-synthesizing, and the societal and legal ramifications. Will AI’s be required to self-identify by law? Should they? Peter describes a future where AI’s impact the education industry and believes we are less than 5 years away from this disruption.
