No Black Boxes: Keep Humans Involved In Artificial Intelligence

During the 1950s, Alan Turing proposed an experiment called the imitation game (now called the Turing test). In it, he posited a situation where someone--the interrogator--was in a room, separated from another room that had a computer and a second person. The goal of the test was for the interrogator to ask questions of both the person and the computer; the goal of the computer was to make the interrogator believe it was a human. Turing predicted that, eventually, computers would be able to mimic human behavior successfully and fool interrogators a high percentage of the time. Turing's prediction has yet to come to pass, and there's a fair question of whether computers will ever be able to truly complete the test.
