What is Turing test?
[[File:Turing Test version 3.png|thumb|right|Person A (actually a computer) and Person B both say that they are human. Person C tries to find out whether Person A or Person B is the computer or the human.]] The '''Turing test''' is a test to see if a [[computer]] can interact with a [[person]]. The human should not be able to realize it is interacting with a computer. [[Alan Turing]] thought that if a [[human]] could not tell the difference between another human and the computer, then the computer had shown intelligent behavior.<ref>Harnad, Stevan 2008.

Springer.</ref> == Test setup == A person has a [[telegraph]], and is connected to two communication partners. One of the two correspondents is a [[machine]]. The person can ask anything with the telegraph. If the person cannot tell which of the two is the machine more than 50% of the time, then the machine is said to be ''intelligent''. Later on, people narrowed down the test. A human is unlikely to know everything. Therefore, both the [[human]] and the machine would be specialists in some field of [[knowledge]] (and so would the person asking). == Media == The comic strip [[Dilbert]] makes several mentions to the PHB (Pointy Haired Boss) failing the Turing test. == Related pages == *[[AlphaGo]] == References == {{reflist}} ==Other websites== *{{Scientific American Frontiers|2|5|Machines Who Think}} [[Category:Artificial intelligence]]
