Artificial Intelligence Computer Fools Computer That Beat Turing (SAT PAR News Jun 16, 2014) Panda C7 the new computer that use both Quantum computing and living cell circuits was able to pretend it was 1 day old human baby. The tables were turned on the computer referred to as 13 year old boy Eugene that judges could not tell was human or not in the original test in London, at Reading University. The new experiment was held at the same location with a new computer developed by IBM creators of the famous Watson computer that took on the TV game show Jeopardy. Panda C7 in replicating the mind of a newborn baby was able to confound 'Eugene' in a similar chat conversation. Researchers pointed out that imitating a baby was very difficult so they used Closed Captioning techniques to provide descriptive text since the computer simulated baby could not talk. For example when asked a question a gurgle text might be shown, or there could be a burp, or crying, even the smacking of lips hungry for milk was displayed in text. The Turing winner could not trip up the baby robot brain. No matter how convoluted the question, an appropriate baby response was always elicited. In the end it could not be determined whether it was a real baby or not and resulted in a second winning of the Turing test but a first against another computer.
