Turing Test Revisited: A Framework for an Alternative

“…In the author opinion, it is time to challenge the Turing Test, not by completing the test successfully but by questioning it suitability. In the last few years, recent advances in cognition from psychology (Gross, 1992;Solso, 2001;Strongman, 2000) to computational cognition (Ayesh, 2004(Ayesh, , 2003Ayesh, Stokes, & Edwards, 2007a;Blewitt, Ayesh, John, & Coupland, 2008;Ventura & Pinto-Ferreira, 2007;Downs, 1977;Duric, Gray, Heishman, Li, Rosenfeld, Schoelles, Schunn, & Wechsler, 2002;Kaber, Wang, & Kim, 2006) to mention but few, give us a new broader understanding of human intelligence, consciousness and psyche in a way that was not available to Alan Turing. In addition, the views and perspectives presented in recent years change many of the assumptions made in the past and drive us ever closer to computational models of the mind than the mere descriptive theories that were presented in the past.…”

“…Agent-oriented software engineering may be seen the first signs of engineering approach to cognitive systems analysis and design but it still lacks comprehensive verification and validation tools (Laufmann, 1997;Wooldridge, 1997). In fact, one may argue agents-based systems, let alone cognition, lacks formal means of verification unless these are logic-based agents (Ventura & Pinto-Ferreira, 2007;Zheng & Alagar, 2005).…”
