![]() The examiner generates questions and receives answers from participants X and Y and has no idea whether X is the male and Y is the female or whether X is the female and Y is the male. For example, we can imagine the examiner sends and receives text messages to the participants. The examiner, however, does not interact with the participants in a direct manner. One participant is a man while the other participant is a woman. A human examiner generates questions which are presented to two different human beings who are called the game participants. Turing, at the time, referred to the test as the “Imitation Game”. Here is an overview of the original description of Turing’s Test as stated in the paper published in 1950. I will begin by briefly reviewing the description of the Turing Test which Alan Turing proposed in his original 1950 paper and which I discussed in additional detail in Episode 5. In this episode, we will discuss various objections to the Turing Test. The basic idea of the Turing Test is that if a human examiner could not distinguish the observable behavior of the computer from the observable behavior of a thinking human being, then this would provide a practical test for determining if the computer was thinking. In Episode 5, we introduces the Turing Test. ![]() In this series of podcasts my goal is to discuss important concepts of artificial intelligence and machine learning in hopefully an entertaining and educational manner. Hello everyone! Welcome to the sixth podcast in the podcast series Learning Machines 101. At the end of this episode we discuss the distinction between the concepts of Strong AI and Weak AI. Some objections to this definition of artificial intelligence are introduced and discussed. In this episode, we briefly review the concept of the Turing Test for Artificial Intelligence (AI) which states that if a computer’s behavior is indistinguishable from that of the behavior of a thinking human being, then the computer should be called “artificially intelligent”. ![]() ![]() ![]() Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed ![]()
