Hal, like any 18-month old baby, is learning the rudiments of speech. He talks about red balls and blue balls, knows his Mommy and Daddy, and likes to go to the park. A child development specialist was given transcripts of Hal's conversations with his caretakers and declared him a healthy, normal little boy. What she wasn't told is that Hal is a computer program running on a regular Windows PC.
Ai uses behaviorist principles to teach our child machine - nicknamed Hal - to hold a conversation. Our approach was outlined by the computing theory pioneer Alan Turing in his 1950 article Computing Machinery and Intelligence. Turing viewed language as the defining element of intelligence; he believed that by giving a machine the capacity to learn, and a willingness to ask questions, you could "raise" an intelligence, an entity capable of rational, engaging conversation.
