Research Brief

The foundational paper defining how we evaluate artificial intelligence using the Turing Test.

Alan Turing proposed a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. Instead of asking 'can machines think?', which he deemed too vague, he proposed a text-based conversational game to see if a machine could successfully mimic a human.
