It's not as easy as you realize! Ha-ha! If the interrogator fails to conclude which player, A or B, is a computer and which is a human, the computer is said to pass the test. The interrogator has the primary task to identify a computer and a human amongst the two players. The interrogator will ask the two players a few questions and observe and analyze their answers. The interrogator does not know which player is a computer and which is human. The interrogator will exchange written messages with both players. We have two players, player A and player B and a human interrogator. He wanted to analyze the machine's ability to manifest sharp behaviour, identical or imperceptible from that of a human. This question led to the idea of measuring AI using the Turing test. The Turing TestĪlan Turing continued to think about a question: 'Can a computer talk like a human?'. It was there that his most notable contribution to AI entered the painting, known as The Imitation Game, which later was called Turing Test.

Turing was fascinated by the ability to mimic intelligence and thought through machines. He is popularly thought of as the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. Source:- Pinterest Now let's turn our point of discussion to the ' Alan Turing test' aka ' The Imitation game' Who was Alan Turing?Īlan Mathison Turing was a well-known British mathematician and logician who made primordial contributions to logic, philosophy, cryptanalyst and mathematics. Watch this first-class film to see how Turing helped the Brits decipher the cryptic code. It turns around Alan Turing's story, how he joined the cryptographic team and built a machine to crack the German Enigma code! The cast comprises none other than Benedict Cumberbatch (I'm a big fan of this guy), Keira Knightley and many more.

So basically AI emphasizes building intelligent machines which are efficient enough for those tasks that require human intelligence!ĭid you know that there's a movie based on Turing's test? It's called ' The Imitation Game '. Artificial Intelligence enabled machines and computers to impersonate the learning, problem-solving and decision-making capabilities of human intellect. “Those who can imagine anything can create the impossible.”īefore turning to our main topic, let me first decode the term Artificial Intelligence for you(In a very short manner).
