The Turing Test: An Overview In this essay, I describe in detail a hypothetical test known at the time as the Turing Test and its respective purpose. Additionally, I consider a distinguished objection to the test and Turing's response to it. Created by English mathematician Alan Turing, the Turing Test (formerly known as the Imitation Game) is a behavioral approach that assesses a system's thinking ability. By doing so, it can determine whether this system is intelligent or not. This experiment initiated what is today commonly called artificial intelligence. In the Turing test, a lone interrogator attempts to distinguish the identities between discrete human and computer subjects based on their responses to a series of questions asked during the interrogation process. Questions are typically generated using a keyboard and screen, so communication can only take place via text-only channels. For example, a sample question would contain something like "What did you think of the weather this morning?" ” and suitable answers might include: “I tend to like a nice foggy morning, because it adds a certain mystery” or rather “Not the best, I'm waiting for pirates to come out of the fog” or even “The weather is n It's not looking good at the moment. moment, unless you like fog.” After a series of tests, if the interrogator fails to identify the subject more than 70% of the time, that subject is considered intelligent. Simply put, the interrogator's ability to declare the machine's intelligence capacity is directly correlated to the interrogator's inability to distinguish between the two subjects. There are many objections to Turing's theory. The most notable objection is...... in the middle of the article ...... people with such knowledge, giving them the rudimentary ability to understand the semantics in which Searle describes. This too can be reflected in the Turing test, since language is an important factor in the experience. In this article, I have attempted to concisely but methodically explain the Turing Test and its respective objections and refutations. The methodological comparisons made by Turing and Searle between humans and computers both illustrate their opposing views on the subject. However, as a result of Searle's reasoning against Turing's experiment, it is clear that his reasoning lacks adequacy. This is most often seen in Searle's tendency to base his theories on assumptions. In doing so, Turing's ideal answers effortlessly undermine any substance Searle might have had, thus proving his theory to be the strongest. Cierra Smith
