The most prestigious prize based on the Turing test, is obviously the Loebner Prize, started in 1990 by Hugh Loebner (who’s still passionate about chatbots). The Loebner Prize however, is not the only prize in this area. There seem to be a few more prizes to win in the field of creating artificial intelligent and conversational life. For Chatbots.org we’re trying to create a list of all of them (and to list all the results on the site).
As you probably know, the Turing Test is a proposal for a test of a machine’s ability to demonstrate intelligence. The test celebrates its 100th birthday in 2012.
This is what we’ve found so far:
Loebner Prize
Chatterbox Challenge
IVA Gala
Machine Intelligence Competition
IEEE CIG
Defcon AI competition
Are you familiar with more prizes, contest or awards? We’d love to hear your suggestions and additions!
