Named after researcher and AI pioneer Alan Turing, the Turing Test aims to test whether a machine or system is “intelligent” by putting the system to a test.In the test, a human, a machine, and an interrogator engage in a conversational setting. If the interrogator can’t distinguish between the human and the machine, then the machine passes the Turing Test and thus has crossed a critical threshold measure of intelligence. The Turing Test is seen now as a possibly overly simplistic assessment of whether or not machines have achieved necessary levels of intelligence.
