On June 7, 2014, a Turing-Test competition, organized by the University of Reading to mark the 60th anniversary of Alan Turing's death, was won by a Russian chatterbot pretending to be a Russian teenage boy named Eugene Goostman, which was able to convince one-third of the judges that it was human. The media was abuzz, claiming a machine has finally been able to pass the Turing Test. CACMLink.

Earlier this year I had planned to 'upload' Alan Turing's biographical data to my AI and have it participate in the Loebner Prize with his persona. But then Eugene Goostman passed a Turing Test and I thought any further mockery would be overdoing it.
The writer of the article clearly didn't read Turing's paper, I might write a blog entry to clarify the misinterpretations once and for- well, for a day, at least.
