AI programs such as Deep Blue, which beat the world chess champion; AlphaGo, which beat the world's Go champion; AlphaGo Zero, which beat AlphaGo; and IBM's Watson, which beat two Jeopardy champions, are often cited as encouragement for the future of artificial intelligence. However, Wichita State Philosophy Professor Susan Sterrett asks whether games that involve impersonation and strategic questioning, such as "What's My Line?" and "To Tell the Truth" might be more appropriate games to illustrate the possibiities of AI. Her article about this, "The Genius of the 'Original Imitation Game' Test", appears in the new issue of the journal Minds and Machines and is free-to-read online at this URL: https://rdcu.be/b9sGh
If you are an honors student interested in artificial intelligence, then consider enrolling in Dr. Sterrett's Spring 2021 honor's seminar, HNRS 305J: Minds and Machines!
