Artificial intelligence systems can now convince you they are human. Two large language models have passed the Turing test, which determines if a machine can “show the same intelligence as a human ...

An important scientific benchmark that has lasted for over seven decades has been broken by artificial intelligence (AI). A new breakthrough study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

Summary: A milestone cognitive science study unveiled the first definitive empirical evidence that modern artificial intelligence can pass the iconic Turing test. The randomized, controlled study ...

New UC San Diego research suggests the line between human and machine is increasingly drawn around social behavior as much as knowledge UC San Diego researchers ran a rigorous three-party Turing test ...

A new University of California San Diego study unveils the first empirical evidence that a modern artificial intelligence system can pass the Turing test—a major scientific benchmark that asks whether ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard pioneered quantum information theory. Now they’ve been awarded the highest honor in computer science. Those water-logged scientists, Charles Bennett and Gilles ...

In the 1980s, Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard created a new kind of encryption that would be impregnable. By Cade Metz Cade Metz has reported on quantum technologies since the 1990s. In the ...

Years before emails, internet banking, cloud servers and cryptocurrency wallets, two scientists devised a way to keep secrets perfectly safe and indecipherable to eavesdropping outsiders. Their 1984 ...

Gilles Brassard and Charles H. Bennett could not have known it at the time, but their conversation in the waters of a San Juan beach eventually led to an entirely new field of computer science and the ...

One afternoon in October 1979, Gilles Brassard was swimming outside a beachfront hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, when a stranger swam up to him and changed the course of his career. Without so much as ...

Attackers are increasingly abandoning loud, disruptive attacks in favor of long-term, undetected infiltration. To support this shift toward stealth, malware developers are aggressively advancing their ...
