The Lovelace Test is designed to be more rigorous, testing for true machine cognition. It was designed in the early 2000s by Bringsjord and a team of computer scientists that included David Ferrucci, who later went on to develop Jeopardy-winning Watson computer for IBM. They named it after Ada Lovelace, often described as the world's first computer programmer.The Lovelace Test removes the potential for manipulation on the part of the program or its designers and tests for genuine autonomous intelligence—human-like creativity and origination—instead of simply manipulating syntax.Until a machine can originate an idea that it wasn’t designed to, Lovelace argued, it can’t be considered intelligent in the same way humans are.
