Can machines think? That was the question posed by the great mathematician Alan Turing. Half a century later six computers are about to converse with human interrogators in an experiment that will attempt to prove that the answer is yes. In the 'Turing test' a machine seeks to fool judges into believing that it could be human. The test is performed by conducting a text-based conversation on any subject. If the computer's responses are indistinguishable from those of a human, it has passed the Turing test and can be said to be 'thinking'. No machine has yet passed the test devised by Turing, who helped to crack German military codes during the Second World War. But at 9am next Sunday, six computer programs - 'artificial conversational entities' - will answer questions posed by human volunteers at the University of Reading in a bid to become the first recognised 'thinking' machine. If any program succeeds, it is likely to be hailed as the most significant breakthrough in artificial intelligence since the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue beat world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. It could also raise profound questions about whether a computer has the potential to be 'conscious' - and if humans should have the 'right' to switch it off. Professor Kevin Warwick, a cyberneticist at the university, said: 'I would say now that machines are conscious, but in a machine-like way, just as you see a bat or a rat is conscious like a bat or ra ...

Here’s a terrific, detailed review of one of the textbooks created by the Discovery Institute in order to sneak their “INTELLIGENT design” creationism into American science classrooms. John Timmer precisely identifies the slippery tactics of this dishonest organization: A biologist reviews an evolution textbook from the ID camp . The Discovery Institute, as indicated by its wedge document , wishes to eliminate science’s focus on natural causes. The group views this focus as the source of society’s increasing materialism, which makes it anathema in the belief system of Discovery’s members. Stephen C. Meyer, the lead author of Explore Evolution , heads the Discovery Institute and is mentioned by name in the wedge document, as is coauthor Paul Nelson. Evolution has been singled out for special ire by Discovery, as it provides an explanation for the origin of humanity based solely on natural processes. Although the ID movement has not developed a research program or even proposed a scientific formulation of its ideas, it has gotten a surprising amount of traction with its attack on the science of evolution. Tapping into a rich vein of American thought that dates back roughly a century , the group’s members have used popular books and appearances in the press to argue that the scientific theory of evolution is on the verge of abandonment, having been pushed to its most recent “inevitable” collapse by new molecular evidence.

clipped by: chaser120 clipper's remarks: Going beyond RFID edgeware for complete location visibility Clip Source: www.applocation.net Question: What does Mobile Resource Management or MRM mean? Answer: Good Question. There is a lot of talk about automating management of mobile workers, mobile workers' work and mobile workers' assets in the field. Whew - that's a lot of management. How about we just refer to it as linking mobile applications? We get all the information that needs to get into the business apps from the field where it needs to go. So there it is - MRM helps fleet operators and field service companies save money and increasing productivity and customer service. We use the combination of equipment and wireless technology that will be right for the situation, GPS, RFID, bar-code, hosted or licensed software applications. We think that mobile resource management is about using the right solution for the business problem rather than using technology. We go beyond MRM and edgeware to create a real time INTELLIGENT network to visualize your supply chain. Tags: real time , INTELLIGENT , network , visibility , visualization , rfid , edgeware ...
