The Turing Test The test is designed to look for intelligence in a computer, and requiring that a human will not be able to tell the difference between man and machine. by using the responses to questions that have been put to both.

The History of the Turing Test The Turing test was created in 1950 by Alan Turing. In 1966 ELIZA appeared to pass the test however, if a keyword was not entered, ELIZA would only reply with a generic response. In 1972 PARRY was created and attempted to model the behaviour of a paranoid schizophrenic. in 1980 John Searle proposed that the Turing test cannot be used to determine if a machine can think. this was published in Minds, Brains and Programs.

The History Of the Turing Test In 1991 the Loebner prize was introduced. in 2000, 2001 and 2004 A.L.I.C.E. won the bronze award for the Loebner prize, Which, demonstrated the most human and conversational behaviour. In 2014, a program called Eugene Goostman convinced 1 judge that it was human.

The imitation test Example

Weaknesses of the test Human intelligence vs intelligence in general(Some human behaviour is unintelligent) Consciousness vs. the simulation of consciousness Human misidentification Naivety of interrogators the anthropomorphic fallacy ( human emotion and pathetic fallacy)
