Call centers might be able to teach "chat bots" a thing or two about passing the Turing Test.

If this year's winner of the Loebner Prize is on the right track, call-center data could be what's needed to achieve the ultimate goal of artificial intelligence (AI): creating a computer program smart enough to hold a natural conversation.

It's a no-brainer, Independent, September 20th, 2006

George est un logiciel, le meilleur de la catégorie des "chatbots" ou robots bavards, et il a reçu ces jours-ci en Grande-Bretagne le prix Loebner, une distinction scientifique honorant les machines capables de nouer les dialogues les plus réalistes avec des humains.
