Alan Turing asks the fundamental question: can machines think? Turing proposes a way to answer this question: the Imitation Game. The Imitation Game, also known as the Turing Test, seeks to assess a machine’s ability to replicate behavior to that of a human. The game consists of a human “judge” that engages in conversation with both a machine and a human. The judge, C, asks a series of questions to the machine, A, and the human, B, in which they try and decipher which set of answers was human-produced, or machine-produced. This idea is a behavioral-based intelligence decipher that Turing proposed, and it also ends with the question on if a machine can “out-smart” a human in future, imaginable scenarios.
