Huma ShahHuma Shah has a PhD in ‘Deception-detection and machine intelligence in practical Turing tests’. Her research focusses on trust in artificial intelligence. She is co-author of ‘Turing’s Imitation Game: Conversations with the Unknown’ published by Cambridge University Press in September 2016. Huma organised two Loebner Prizes for Artificial Intelligence in the UK (2006 at UCL; 2008 at Reading University). She designed public Turing test experiments at WWII codebreaking centre Bletchley Park, in 2012, and at The Royal Society London in 2014. The tests examined human-machine indistinguishability, and scaled the progress in natural language understanding from Joseph Weizenbaum’s Eliza to modern dialogue programmes.
