Artificial Intelligence Testing

Hector Levesque has a strong critical position regarding the place of the Turing Test in Artificial Intelligence. A key argument concerns the test’s use of, or even, reliance on deception for subjectively demonstrating intelligence, and counters with a test of his own based on Winograd Schemas that he suggests is more objective. We argue that the subjectivity of the test is a strength, and that evaluating the outcome of Levesque’s objective test introduces other problems.
