Can Machines Think? 75 Years of the Turing Test
- Sponsored by:
- Dean of Faculty
In 1950, Alan Turing proposed an “imitation game” to address the question of whether computers could exhibit intelligence. His paper, published in a philosophy journal, sparked and continues to spark many responses. We review the background of Turing’s paper, the history of these responses and examine how Turing might view the current state of Artificial Intelligence.
