The computer became the first in the world to be mistaken for a real person during conversations with humans conducted at the Royal Society in London.
The test was established in 1950 by Alan Turing, a pioneer of computer science.
At the competition last weekend, five supercomputers were presented with a series of unrestricted questions. Real people also answered the questions and the judges had to decide who was human.
The Russian computer program persuaded the judges 33% of the time that it was a human.
