Turing test

In a society like today we take for granted many things; things such as computers and other technology. Does Alan Turing ring a bell? However, it may not to some; he was a pleasing brilliant mathematician that was persecuted because of his homosexuality rather than being seen for his brilliance. Turing’s invention of defeating the enigma of the Nazi code made an ostentatious impact on human history. The Imitation Game a boundless film based on a real story that can be a great addition to the…

The Turing Test, designed by the philosopher, Alan Turing, is a test where several judges attempt to differentiate a man from a computer without physical evidence, just text through a computer terminal (Turing par. 2). If over thirty percent of the judges mistake the computer for the man, then it is determined that machines can think since the machine was…

Alan Turing was a rather exceptional mathematician and scientist who played a crucial role in the development of both modern computing and artificial intelligence. While arguably his most famed achievement is the well known Turing Test he accomplished a bevy of feats in his time. From an early age Mr. Turing displayed an inquisitive mind which was further nurtured and developed as he went off to college where his unusual mind was already beginning to shine. Displaying a startling firm grasp of…

been around for around 100 years and has had the attention of many computer scientists who want to delve deeper into the mysterious reality of intelligent computers. Alan Turing is one computer scientist that is credited for taking huge strides in the development…

mathematician Alan Turing once said this. Faced with many obstacles and critics in his life, he proved this to be true. Many people never thought he would accomplish his ideas, and even as a child he was discouraged from practicing and learning science. Later in life, he made machines and proved theories no one believed were possible. Alan Turing was born on June 23, 1912 in London, England (Hodges 8). Although he did not come from a particularly rich family, his father worked hard for Turing…

Renowned computer scientists and historians alike have hailed Alan Turing as the “father of the modern computer.” This is no small claim if one considers the tremendous impact computers have on humanity. Innovations like the internet and email have massive effects on everyday life in the modern world, from every call made from a cell phone, to every pixel of data seen on a high-definition television screen, computation of one kind or another is involved in some way. There are countless worthy…

associated with people acting intelligently. “Thinking humanly” completely depends on the internal activities of the brain and cognitive science plays a major role in predicting or resembling the human level general intelligence. ACTING HUMANLY-The turing test approach “Can machines behave intelligently?” - If the response from the computer is something similar to…

of "artificial intelligence" attacks the very core of the human spirit, the pride of our race. The very thought of an "intelligent" computer that is on par, or more likely superior, to our own brain sends chills down the spine. And others, such as Turing, tried to settle the issue of machine intelligence altogether. The movie A.I.: Artificial Intelligence contains a crux of philosophical inquiry directly relating to both Descartes’s…

Though not having met Jacque Fresco in person, he has had a huge impact in my life. For most of my life, I wanted to be a doctor due to the monetary and social benefits. This dream of mine was from the tender age of two. At that point in time, I was fascinated by my pediatricians. This continued till around the late 8th grade. It was during the 8th grade where I developed a fascination with physics and wanted to be a physicist. However, when I moved to the United States in the summer of 2014, I…

“Siri, what’s the weather outside?” People today ask this question a lot. What they don’t usually think about is how Siri is able to comprehend what they are saying. This is just one way that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used today. In this example, the phone uses Natural Language Processing (which is a part of AI) to comprehend what the person is saying. The easy means of communication we know today would not be at our disposal without Artificial Intelligence. There are many parts to…
