Computing Machinery and Intelligence A.M. Turing

چکیده
I propose to consider the question, "Can machines think?" This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms "machine" and "think." The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous, If the meaning of the words "machine" and "think" are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the meaning and the answer to the question, "Can machines think?" is to be sought in a statistical survey such as a Gallup poll. But this is absurd. Instead of attempting such a definition I shall replace the question by another, which is closely related to it and is expressed in relatively unambiguous words.

Bringing Up Turing's 'Child-Machine'
Turing wrote that the "guiding principle" of his investigation into the possibility of intelligent machinery was "The analogy [of machinery that might be made to show intelligent behavior] with the human brain." (Turing 1948) In his discussion of the investigations that Turing said were guided by this analogy, however, he employs a more farreaching analogy: he eventually expands the analogy fro...
متن کاملThe chess example in Turing's Mind paper is really about ambiguity
In his paper Computing machinery and intelligence, Turing introduces a rather trivial chess problem as a conversation piece in an example Turing test. The example is about much more than computers playing chess: it has a hidden message that is about resolving ambiguity and knowledge representation, probably inserted by Turing as an Easter egg for us to find.
متن کاملTuring ’ s Imitation Game : a discussion with the benefit of hind
Alan Turing proposed the imitation game in his 1950 paper titled “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” [1]. This paper discussed the arguments for and against artificial intelligence that existed then. Since this time, science has advanced in areas of neuroscience, machine learning, and computer theory granting us a different perspective on the argument. This paper discusses the history of Art...

Senior Research Proposal 11-1-2000 Abstract Alan Turing’s landmark paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” proposed a famous test of machine intelligence: the ability to imitate human conversation. In the 50 years since the publication of Turing’s paper, the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing have made great advances, and yet no program has ever successfully ...
متن کاملThe Imitation Game
This issue of the Kybernetes journal is concerned with the philosophical question Can a Machine Think? Famously, in his 1950 paper ‘Computing Machinery and Intelligence’ [11], the British mathematician Alan Turing suggested replacing this question which he found “too meaningless to deserve discussion” with a simple [behaviourial] test based on an imagined Victorian-esque pastime he entitled the...
