Loebner Prize to call Bletchley Park home
May 2014
The Loebner Prize is making Bletchley Park its permanent
home. The competition is modelled on Alan Turing’s
famous test, which suggests that a thinking computer’s
responses would, in conversation, be able to convince a
panel of judges that it is human.
The Loebner Prize was founded and is sponsored by
Dr Hugh Loebner, a New York philanthropist. He says
“The competition is the longest running Turing test.”
Since the competition’s inception in 1991, no computer
has yet managed to win anything other than the Bronze
Medal prize.
The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and
Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), the world’s oldest
Artificial Intelligence society, has this year taken over
the running of the competition, guaranteeing its continued
success. This year’s competition will be held at Bletchley
Park on 15 November.
In addition to the the $100 000 grand prize and gold medal,
the competition offers a $25 000 Silver Medal prize for a
program able to fool a majority of judges, and an annual
Bronze Medal prize to the most human-like computer.
