This highly readable volume is essential reading for research on the Turing test and for teaching undergraduate and graduate students in philosophy, computer science, and cognitive science. Recent results of the Loebner competition are analyzed. Justifications for the test and its future applications are suggested and alternatives to the Turing test are examined in detail. The book also gives competing views about how the Turing test should be interpreted, and novel contemporary criticisms of the test. Turing's famous predictions (1950) are assessed fifty years after they were made. It offers new insights into Turing's own interpretation, and traces the history of the debate about the merits of the Turing test in more detail than anywhere else. This is the first book to elaborate in such detail the numerous conflicting points of view on many aspects of this multifaceted, controversial subject. The "Turing Test" gives the most comprehensive, in depth and contemporary assessment of this classic topic in artificial intelligence. Creativity, the Turing Test, and the (Better) Lovelace Test. The Status and Future of the Turing Test.

Intelligence is not Enough: On the Socialization of Talking Machines. The Constructibility of Artificial Intelligence (as Defined by the Turing Test). At a young age, he displayed signs of high intelligence, which some of his. Passing Loebner's Turing Test: A Case of Conflicting Discourse Functions. The Turing test, originally called the imitation game by Alan Turing in 1950. Making the Right Identification in the Turing Test. The two tests yield different results, and the first provides a more appropriate measure of intelligence. Although the first, neglected, test uses a human’s linguistic performance in setting an empirical test of intelligence, it does not make behavioral similarity to that performance the criterion of intelligence.

However, Turing himself countered that an intelligent. The Turing Test has been interpreted as a way to define intelligence, that is, if one cannot tell a computer from a human being then it is intelligent. I show here that the first test described in that much-discussed paper is in fact not equivalent to the second one, which has since become known as ‘the Turing Test’. The concept of intelligence varies from person to person, and as a result, a standardized test like the Turing Test becomes less important. In ‘Computing Machinery and Intelligence’, Alan Turing actually proposed not one, but two, practical tests for deciding the question ‘Can a machine think?’ He presented them as equivalent.
