Turing Test

The Turing Test was proposed by Alan Turing in his 1950 paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence. Originally called the imitation game, it counts a machine as passing if a judge holding a text conversation cannot tell whether the other party is a human or a machine.

Because it turns the question of whether machines can think into a question about observable behavior, it is often cited as a starting point of debates about artificial intelligence.
