At the time Germany was using what is called an ‘ enigma machine‘ to encipher all its military and naval signals. In 1939, Turing was recruited by the British government’s code-breaking department. This is where he invented the concept of a ‘Universal Machine’ that could decode and perform any set of instructions. In 1936, Turing published a paper that is now recognized as the foundation of computer science. His abstract mathematical ideas served to push him in a completely different direction in a field that was yet to be invented. In 1935, at the age of 22 his work on probability theory won him a Fellowship of King’s College, University of Cambridge. Turing is an eccentric British Mathematician who is recognized for his futurist ground breaking ideas. We will explore who Alan Turing is, what the test is, why it matters, and why the definition of the test may need to evolve.
Conceptually, if the AI is able to pass the test, it has achieved intelligence that is equivalent to, or indistinguishable from that of a human. This was a test first proposed by Alan Turing in 1950, the test was designed to be the ultimate experiment on whether or not an AI has achieved human level intelligence. If you’ve been around Artificial Intelligence (AI) you have undoubtedly heard of ‘ The Turing Test‘.
