Studying the epic journey of the iconic jumping plumber can lead to new insights in theoretical computer science—and may help ...

When people debate highly contentious issues, they often misrepresent the other side’s arguments. A recent study tested ...

Treat an LLM as the step function of a Turing machine. Everything else falls out: state lives on disk, the program is markdown, runs are resumable and observable, and "agents" are just user-authored ...

Abstract: In this paper we present a Universal Turing Machine build in the Cellular Automaton Conway's Game of Life. This is an extension of the Turing Machine built previously by the author [10]. It ...

Academics Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares argue in their new book that the technology could lead to our extinction. Is there reason to believe them?

For over seven decades, the Turing test was considered the gold standard for artificial intelligence: can a machine convince ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In 2025, the edges of mathematics came a little more sharply into view when members of the online Busy Beaver Challenge community closed in on a huge number that threatens to defy the logical ...

Investopedia contributors come from a range of backgrounds, and over 25 years there have been thousands of expert writers and editors who have contributed. Dr. JeFreda R. Brown is a financial ...
