Nello Cristianini

Re-reading Alan Turing in the GPT era 

In 1950, Alan Turing published the article Computing Machinery and Intelligence in the academic journal Mind, to address a fundamental question: can machines think? In this seminal paper, the father of informatics proposed what would later be known as the Turing Test: if a machine was able to engage in conversation with a human without being identified as a machine, it could be deemed intelligent. Turing's personal story highlights the cultural progress of recent decades, and his insights take on new significance in light of today's technological advancements. How can we reinterpret Turing's work through the lens of modern artificial intelligence, particularly with the emergence of sophisticated models like GPT?
