What is the Turing Test? It is a method for determining whether or not a machine is capable of exhibiting intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human being. It was devised by the British mathematician Alan Turing in 1950, and it has since become one of the most well-known and influential tests in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The Turing Test is based on the idea that if a machine can fool a human into believing that it is also human, then it can be considered intelligent.
