Loebner Prize

The Loebner Prize is an annual competition that evaluates how well computer programs can imitate human conversation. Based on the Turing Test, it involves chatbots engaging with human judges through text. If a chatbot convinces the judge it is human, it wins the prize. The event aims to advance artificial intelligence by encouraging more natural, human-like interactions between machines and people. While it has not yet produced a program indistinguishable from a human, it serves as a benchmark for progress in conversational AI.
