On Saturday April 16, students at Simon's Rock College in Great Barrington, MA, and Dr. Richard Wallace of the A.L.I.C.E. AI Foundation for their first time tested Alan Turing 's thought-experiment. The Imitation Game, based on the original Turing model for testing the ability of humans to recognize artificial intelligence (AI), was carried out with nearly eighty human and AI participants. The 'Original Imitation Game' is described in Turing's 1950 paper . A popularized version now dubbed the " Turing Test " involves a judge knowingly interviewing a software program and a human person during a computer chat, and then trying to discern which is which. The Turing Test has been conducted many times as Artificial Intelligence programs developed. However, no study was ever published following the guidelines of the original thought-experiment itself. Six human subjects from Simon's Rock composed the human players in the game; the judges were recruited from various non-technical internet communities. Roughly eighty individuals participated in the experiment, which required the organizers to maintain strict secrecy about the experiment until it was concluded. All subjects who participated in the experiment were required to be over 18, not affiliated with the college, and were not allowed any foreknowledge of the use of AI in the experiment. Roughly 70 interviews were conducted over a three hour period last Saturday, via AOL's Instant Messenger , a messaging tool that allows individuals to write to one another online.
