Is the Turing Test Dead Yet?

Should AI Forget or Hold Grudges?
Memory is a tricky thing. For humans, it’s often unreliable—prone to bias, misplacement, even total reinvention. For artificial intelligence, memory is both more precise and more problematic.

AI as a Judge: Revolution or Risk?
In the grand cosmic drama of human existence, one might ask if artificial intelligence (AI) is the understudy waiting in the wings to assume the role of judge, jury, and maybe not executioner—after all, we don’t want to gild the lily. As humans, we have always…

AI Developers: Morality vs. Innovation
As we stand on the brink of the AI revolution, the role of AI developers becomes not only that of coders and engineers, but something far more profound. Much akin to the craftsman of ancient times who understood the social impact of their creations, today’s AI…

AI vs. Ethics: Pull the Lever?
In the perennial muse of philosophers, the Trolley Problem, a runaway trolley hurtles towards five unsuspecting individuals. You stand by a lever. Pull the lever, and the trolley diverts to a side track, with just one person tied to it. Do nothing, and five perish. This…

AI: Partners or Predators? The Future Awaits
In the blink of an eye, the world has shifted from envisioning a future with artificial intelligence to living with AI as an inseparable part of our daily existence. The evolution of AI from a mere computational tool to a partner in our intellectual and emotional…
