The Turing test

Alan Turing proposed his famous test, which he called The Imitation Game in a paper titled Computing Machinery and Intelligence, published in 1950 in the journal Mind – A Quarterly Review of Psychology and Philosophy (see https://www.abelard.org/turpap/turpap.php#the_imitation_game). In the original text, Turing imagined a game where a player would have to guess the sex – male or female – of a hidden person by typing questions on a teletype. Then he suggested that a truly intelligent machine would be one where you would not be able to distinguish if the hidden personality on the other end of the teletype was a human or a computer software program.
