The Turing Test

30 years before Searle's Chinese Room, Alan Turing posed the question, can machines think? in one of his more famous papers. Being the practical genius he was, he decided not to tackle that question head on, but to instead pose it in the framework of the problem of other minds. This problem asks, how do we truly know that other people have minds like our own? Since we can only observe their behavior—and not the inner workings of their mind—we must take it on faith that they are like us. Turing proposed that if a machine could behave as if it were intelligent, then we should view it as such. This, in a nutshell, is the Turing Test. Passing the test means convincing humans that a machine is a fellow human.
