MSN Eliza
Back on 1951, Alan Turing proposed a test to measure if a machine is intelligent, it is called: The Turing Test or the Imitation test. Basically, if you chat with a machine, and you can not clearly recognize that the chatter is not a real person, then we can describe the machine as intelligent.
In 1966, there was the first famous trial: Eliza (The Therapist emulator).
So how are we doing with this test?
Eventhough we are so far beyond creating intelligent machines, we do have a ubiquitous chat infrastucture. So we are ready for a contest!
We should create a program that every user can customize to run his own version of Eliza on MSN or yahoo!... I wonder why AI researchers did not do it yet.
Any takers?
