2 The Named after Alan Turing, the early computer scientist who proposed it

3 The Named after Alan Turing, the early computer scientist who proposed it Turing suggested a test to determine whether or not a computer is conscious

4 The Named after Alan Turing, the early computer scientist who proposed it Turing suggested a test to determine whether or not a computer is conscious A human evaluator is seated at a computer

5 The Named after Alan Turing, the early computer scientist who proposed it Turing suggested a test to determine whether or not a computer is conscious A human evaluator is seated at a computer The computer is connected to computers in two rooms

6 The Named after Alan Turing, the early computer scientist who proposed it Turing suggested a test to determine whether or not a computer is conscious A human evaluator is seated at a computer The computer is connected to computers in two rooms In one room, a human sits at the computer

7 The Named after Alan Turing, the early computer scientist who proposed it Turing suggested a test to determine whether or not a computer is conscious A human evaluator is seated at a computer The computer is connected to computers in two rooms In one room, a human sits at the computer In the other room, the computer is running a program designed to simulate human conversation

8 The A human evaluator is seated at a computer The computer is connected to computers in two rooms In one room, a human sits at the computer In the other room, the computer is running a program designed to simulate human conversation The human evaluator uses his computer to converse with the occupants of the other two rooms

9 The This test is repeated many times, using different human evaluators If fewer than 50% of the evaluators correctly identify the human, then the computer program simulating human conversation passed the. Turing proposed this test as a way to answer the question Can machines think? Since thinking is hard to define, Turing suggested replacing that question with this one: Are there digital computers which would do well in the imitation game?

10 Turing proposed this test as a way to answer the question Can machines think? Since thinking is hard to define, Turing suggested replacing that question with this one: Are there digital computers which would do well in the imitation game? A popular party game at the time (about 1950) sent a man and a woman into separate rooms with typewriters.

The man would try to make the guests think he was the woman.

A popular party game at the time (about 1950) sent a man and a woman into separate rooms with typewriters. They would type responses to questions submitted by party guests. The man would try to make the guests think he was the woman. Based on the typewritten responses, the guests would try to guess which room contained the woman.

Since thinking is hard to define, Turing suggested replacing that question with this one: Are there digital computers which would do well in the imitation game? Based on the typewritten responses, the guests would try to guess which room contained the woman. One version of the requires the computer program to simulate a woman.

Based on the typewritten responses, the guests would try to guess which room contained the woman. One version of the requires the computer program to simulate a woman. Some commentators suggest this is a more telling test, requiring resourcefulness above and beyond the ability to simulate conversation.

20 Criticisms of the The tests for human behaviors that are not intelligent all. Spelling errors Susceptibility to insults Temptation to lie Turing suggested that programmers add errors to their output

21 Criticisms of the The tests for human behaviors that are not intelligent all. The requires computers to dumb down to seem more human

22 Criticisms of the The tests for human behaviors that are not intelligent all. The requires computers to dumb down to seem more human A machine would give itself away if it solved a problem practically impossible for a human to solve

23 Criticisms of the The tests for human behaviors that are not intelligent all. The requires computers to dumb down to seem more human Lack of necessary skills and knowledge required by interrogators

24 Criticisms of the The tests for human behaviors that are not intelligent all. The requires computers to dumb down to seem more human Lack of necessary skills and knowledge required by interrogators Turing does not identify the background that should be required of interrogators

25 Criticisms of the The tests for human behaviors that are not intelligent all. The requires computers to dumb down to seem more human Lack of necessary skills and knowledge required by interrogators Turing does not identify the background that should be required of interrogators Unskilled interrogators are easily fooled by programs that change the subject, give sarcastic responses, or otherwise distract the interrogator from his line of questioning.

26 Criticisms of the The tests for human behaviors that are not intelligent all. The requires computers to dumb down to seem more human Lack of necessary skills and knowledge required by interrogators Simulation of intelligent behavior does not require thought

27 Criticisms of the The tests for human behaviors that are not intelligent all. The requires computers to dumb down to seem more human Lack of necessary skills and knowledge required by interrogators Simulation of intelligent behavior does not require thought John Searle argues that the symbol manipulation done by computer programs involves no thought whatsoever You can get a sense of what he means by programming your own chatbot
