Question

design a machine to pass the Turing Test. What capabilities are required by that machine?

Answer 1

The Turing test was designed by Alan Turing, a British computer scientist, who actively participated in early discussions revolving around machine learning. He designed a test similar to the imitation game in which an arbitrary observer should be able to identify whether he is talking to a man or a machine. In Turing’s opinion, a successful AI machine would be able to convince the observer that it is the man.

For a computer to pass the Turing test satisfactorily, it must have the following capabilities:

1. Recognise when it is being talked to.

2. Make clear responses to questions.

3. Be able to give accurate answers.

4. Carry out a normal conversation with a human being.
