How could emotional intelligence be implemented?
Architectures for recognizing and generating emotion are typically somewhat complex and don't generally have short descriptions, so it's probably better to reference the literature rather than give a ...

Is the Turing Test, or any of its variants, a reliable test of artificial intelligence?
The rhetorical point of the Turing Test is that it places the 'test' for 'humanity' in observable outcomes, instead of in internal components. If you would behave the same in interacting with an AI as ...

Is the Turing Test, or any of its variants, a reliable test of artificial intelligence?
The problem of the Turing Test is that it tests the machines ability to resemble humans. Not necessarily every form of AI has to resemble humans. This makes the Turing Test less reliable. However, it ...

Are there any AI that have passed the MIST test so far?
Yes, although how useful this AI can be is another question entirely.
mpgac is a "minimally intelligent AGI" trained on the GAC-80K corpus of MIST questions. As a result, it should be able to "...
