Turing Test: Fundamentals and Applications

The Turing test, which Alan Turing developed in 1950 and initially referred to as the imitation game, is a test that determines whether or not a machine is capable of exhibiting intelligent behavior that is equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. Turing envisioned that a human evaluator would judge natural language talks between a human and a machine intended to create human-like responses. These discussions would take place between a human and the machine. The evaluator would be aware that one of the two parties in discussion was a machine, and all of the participants would be kept at a physical distance from one another. Because the conversation would take place solely through a text-only channel, such as a computer keyboard and screen, the outcome would not be contingent on the device's capacity to convert written words into spoken ones. The machine is considered to have successfully completed the test if the evaluator is unable to consistently differentiate between the machine and the human subject. The results of the test would not depend on whether or not the machine was capable of providing accurate responses to questions; rather, they would be based solely on how closely its responses resembled those that a human would provide.
