Believability in multi-agent computer games: revisiting the turing test

W. Joseph MacInnes

Abstract: Although the Turing test has fallen out of favor as a scientific test for machine intelligence, it maintains its usefulness in research with less grand intentions. In some situations 'true' intelligence may be less important than simply portraying a believable human. One such environment, multi-player computer games will be discussed and data on the believability of three different algorithms presented.
