What is the Test?  A theory that computers could surpass human intelligence, for this to happen Allan Turing comprised a “test” that AI would have to pass to conclude this.  The original test was to determine whether a computer could “think” like a human.

What is the Test?  The idea that if AI could “fool” humans into believing it was human itself it would be an important milestone for surpassing human intelligence. Ball, P. (2015). The truth about the Turing test. Available: Last accessed 03/03/2016.

How it works.  The computer can be understood to be “thinking” if passed the test specifically; a computer could dupe 30% of human interrogators in 5 minutes text conversations.  Griffin, A. (2014). Turing Test breakthrough as super-computer becomes first to convince us it's human. Available: becomes-first-to-pass-turing-test-in-artificial-intelligence-milestone- but-academics-warn html.

Eugene Goostman.  A computer that passed this test was in Russia that acted as a 13 year old boy as it convinced 33% of judges that it was human. Not a supercomputer but just cleaver software. Arguable if it really counts as a machine “thinking”.  K. Warwinck, H. Shah 2014, Effects of lying in practical Turing tests AL & Society, Volume 31, Issue 1, pp 5-15

However  Del Prado argues that the Turing test is not a true representation of AI and machines being able to surpass human intelligence.  It explains that it is a distraction from true AI being developed as people are too focused on the test itself.  Del Prado, G.

Kevin Warwick on effects of lying in Turing tests  An author and analysist, Kevin Warwick has discussed the effects of lying in the practical Turing tests. In one of the tests, Warwick has discovered that harmless, or so called ‘’white lie’, may have an effect on the judges’ incorrect classification.  K. Warwinck, H. Shah 2014, Effects of lying in practical Turing tests AL & Society, Volume 31, Issue 1, pp 5-15

Justin Leiber on why the Turing Test is important  Turing was adamant for just that reason that what counts could only be that a real mechanism should REALLY PASS the test.  In everyday life, in law, in science, and in myth that the Turing Test is surely a natural  Turing Test is a reasonably detailed description of a machine which can indeed be supposed to pass the Test in real time but which somehow is not really thinking.

A Turing Test for Computer Game Bots  ability of computer game playing agents to imitate human game players.
