Turing Test

Categories: Science | Technology
    • Tests artificial intelligence
    • Described by scientist Alan Turing in the 1950s
    • A human judge engages in text conversation with a human and a machine
    • A computer passes the test if the judge cannot tell if it's human or not
    • Turing's paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence in 1950 described the test
    • No computer has passed the real Turing Test
    • The Turing Awards is a computer science award given by the The Association for Computing Machinery
    • The Turing Awards is not related to passing the Turing Test
    • The automated CAPTCHA, (Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) attempts to tell computers and humans apart in an automated test
    • CAPTCHA is used to detect spammers
  • Named after scientist Alan Turing, the Turing test tests a machine's ability to demonstrate intelligence. A human judge engages in a text conversation with one human and one machine appearing human. If the judge cannot tell which is which, then the machine passes the test. Passing the test requires the machine to use natural language, to reason, to have knowledge and to learn. The test was described in Alan Turing's 1950 paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence, a seminal work in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
  • CAPTCHA

    The CAPTCHA test, developed by Websense, is an automated test to tell humans and computers apart. It is not a real Turing test since it is automatic. It it used to detect spammers and requires computer users to pass a test of reading distorted text. It was originally developed for [[Yahoo!]] but is now used for other email programs and Web sites.
