| Turing test: Proposal by A. M. Turing (Alan M. Turing In Computing machinery and intelligence (= 59). Mind (journal), 1950) to find out whether a machine has the ability to think. The machine has to answer questions, whereby a more or less high degree of everyday knowledge is required. See also Artificial intelligence, Strong artificial intelligence, Artificial consciousness._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Daniel Dennett on Turing-Test - Dictionary of Arguments
Brockman I 46 Turing Test/DennettVsTuring/Dennett: Alan Turing himself suffered an entirely understandable failure of imagination in his formulation of the famous Turing Test. As everyone knows, it is an adaptation of his “imitation game,” in which a man, hidden from view and communicating verbally with a judge, tries to convince the judge that he is in fact a woman, while a woman, also hidden and communicating with the judge, tries to convince the judge that she is the woman. What Turing did not foresee is the power of deep-learning AI to acquire this wealth of information in an exploitable form without having to understand it. Turing imagined an astute and imaginative (and hence conscious) agent who cunningly designed his responses based on his detailed “theory” of what women are likely to do and say. Top-down intelligent design, in short. He certainly didn’t think that a man, winning the imitation game, would somehow become a woman;(…). >Machine learning, >Deep learning. Brockman I 47 DennettVsTuring: What Turing didn’t foresee is the uncanny ability of superfast computers to sift mindlessly through Big Data, of which the Internet provides an inexhaustible supply, finding probabilistic patterns in human activity that could be used to pop “authentic”-seeming responses into the output for almost any probe a judge would think to offer. Brockman I 48 (…) probably a better tactic for the judge to adopt when confronting a candidate in the Turing Test is not to search for such items but to create them anew. AI in its current manifestations is parasitic on human intelligence. It quite indiscriminately gorges on whatever has been produced by human creators and extracts the patterns to be found there—including some of our most pernicious habits.(1) >Artificial Intelligence. 1.
