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.

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.


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”.

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.

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.

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.
