turing test paper

[Received 28 May, 1936.—Read 12 November, 1936.]

The Turing test, developed by Alan Turing in 1950, is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviourequivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. it is almost equally easy to define and investigate computable functions In the seminal paper by Alan Turing, Computing Machinery and Intelligence, he questioned, “can machines think?” Turing coined an evaluative exercise, the Turing test, to examine if a computer can be intelligent enough that another person interacting with it would believe the computer was a human (Turing…

In this game, both the man and the woman aim to convince the guests that they are the woman. The evaluator would be aware that one of the two partners in conversation is a machine, and all participants would be separated from one another. �=�t

The test was inspired by a party game known as the "Imitation Game", in which a man and a woman go into separate rooms, and guests try to tell them apart by writing a series of questions and reading the typewritten answers sent back.
Turing proposed that a human evaluator would judge natural language conversations between a human and a machine designed to generate human-like responses. Since the words "think" and "machine" cannot be defined in a clear way that satisfies everyone, Turing suggests we "replace the question by another, which is closely related to it and is expressed in relatively unambiguous words. The first version of the game he explained involved no computer intelligence whatsoever. 0000001088 00000 n

Anticipating this millennial deadline, in 1991 the entertainment entrepreneur Hugh Loebner decided to fund a series of actual competitions.

"Hence Turing states that the focus is not on "whether all digital computers would do well in the game nor whether the computers that are presently available would do well, but whether there are imaginable computers which would do well".Having clarified the question, Turing turned to answering it: he considered the following nine common objections, which include all the major arguments against artificial intelligence raised in the years since his paper was first published.Be kind, resourceful, beautiful, friendly, have initiative, have a sense of humour, tell right from wrong, make mistakes, fall in love, enjoy strawberries and cream, make someone fall in love with it, learn from experience, use words properly, be the subject of its own thought, have as much diversity of behaviour as a man, do something really new.The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything.

Turing now restates the original question as "Let us fix our attention on one particular digital computer C. Is it true that by modifying this computer to have an adequate storage, suitably increasing its speed of action, and providing it with an appropriate programme, C can be made to play satisfactorily the part of A in the imitation game, the part of B being taken by a man? <<2e76a3316f2f2347a26dc7c5a229af09>]>>

A learning process that involves a method of reward and punishment must be in place that will select desirable patterns in the mind. 0000004597 00000 n harvnb error: no target: CITEREFRussellNorvig2003 ( harvnb error: no target: CITEREFRussellNorvig2003 ( harvnb error: no target: CITEREFRussellNorvig2003 ( harvnb error: no target: CITEREFRussellNorvig2003 ( startxref
