A researcher at Ransselaer Polytechnic Institute in the US has given three robots an updated version of the classic 'Kings wise men puzzle' self-awareness test and for the first time one of them has managed to pass.
The updated test involved three 'pills', two of the pills will render the robots silent, and one is a placebo. The tester, then asks the robots which pill they received.
For robots, this is a very hard tests that requires induction as well as logic. It not only requires the AI to be able to listen to and understand a question, but also to hear its own voice and recognise that it's distinct from the other robots. And then it needs to link that realisation back to the original question to come up with an answer.
I think its too early for Sarah Conner to get a name change, but otherwise this is awesome.
