TURING TEST
What is the Turing Test?
Source: linkedin.com
As the name implies, Alan Turing developed the Turing Test and published it in his article
"Computing Machinery" in 1950. To see if a machine can think, we will put it through this test.
The Imitation Game, with its alterations, serves as the basis for the test. There are three
participants in it: a computerized machine, a responder who is a person, and an investigator.
While the machine and the human respondent give input, the investigator does the questioning.
To determine which of the participants is a machine, the investigator is typically separated from
the other participants. In their various locales, the players are given specific characters to serve
as distinctive IDs.
One of the players is already known to the investigator to be a robot. On the basis of the
respondents' queries and replies, a conclusion is drawn.
Example:
The investigator might ask the following questions:
Investigator: Are you a man?
Player x (computer): NO.
Investigator: Convert the following binary digit into bits (4294967296).
Player X: Pauses for a while and gives the wrong answer.
According to the aforementioned illustration, player x (the computer) will have passed the test if the
interrogator is unable to tell the difference between the computer and the human.

Requirements for Passing Turing Test
Natural language processing (NLP): It is able to comprehend spoken human languages
Knowledge representation (KR): The computer's capacity to save and retrieve data supplied
either before or during the interrogation
Automated reasoning (AR): This necessitates that a machine be able to query the data and
draw fresh findings
Machine learning: This ability is necessary for pattern recognition and extrapolation, as well
as for adapting to novel situations
Vision: Interpreting the investigator's activities and various items encourages innovation
Motor control: The capacity of an object to function as needed
Other senses: These include contact, scent, and hearing

Limitations of Turing Test
The test needs physical engagement, which makes perception and actuation necessary
The experiment cannot be repeated. It employs an alternative rationale or coding from the
source
Since there is no absolute certainty that any machine that can display intelligent behavior is
smart, the Turing test may not be adequate for determining the level of machine intelligence
Since one of its conditions is that the participants be in different rooms to ensure they are
hidden from public view, it cannot be done in an open space
