Why 2030, why not later, or sooner.
The last time I saw computers trying to pass the turing test was on Tomorrow's world, and only the internet scientists that quesitoned the 'computers' were sure of which ones were and which weren't. That was less than 5 years ago.
Does turing's test define the questions? becuase if not then the questions will evolve along with the computing. I would be surprise if a robot/software/PC/android would be able to past the Turing test before 2050 at elast, and probably 2100.
But I'm a rarely pessimist so maybe they've already done it but were clever enough to fail the test and keep their obscurity and freedom!
I remeber a story I read once, it think it was from a book that spoke to Sci-fi that has predicted stuff and it was about the internet and computers learning everything and then killing (sigh) and taking over the world, but I can't remeber who it was by. Sorry I went off on a tangent then.
Anyway Matt, no I don't think they will pass by 2030.
