Who was the british ai pioneer responsible for proposing a test for determining if machines could think?

how much time did u take in writing this answer bhai?
I think about an hour. I had to study about the Turing Test myself. That took some time
oh.. u really doing gr8!
u also have the Samaritan rank

Hey There,
We are going to talk about a really amazing person in this answer. That guy was a genius, whom we still remember to this day.
The name's Alan Turing, and the Test we are talking about is Turing Test.
Alan Turing was a British person, who was originally a Mathematics Professor. But he loved Cryptanalysis.
[Cryptanalysis is deciphering encrypted codes by various methods]
He was involved with the British Government in a top-secret Program during World War 2. He and his team cracked the Enigma Machine, which the Germans were using to send encrypted messages. It is well documented in the 2014 film The Imitation Game. He was also a pioneer in presenting the concept of Programmable Machines, which we today commonly call as Computers.
But our focus for this answer is not this. Let's talk about the Turing Test.
In 1950, Alan Turing published his paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence, where he posed the question "Can Machines Think"
This was not much of practical use in those days. But as we move towards sophisticated Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Neural Networks, it will eventually blur the line between humans and machines.
The Turing Test is designed to check how well an Artificial Intelligence System is. What we do is, we ask the AI System some questions. And if the system's responses are indistinguishable from that of a human, then we say that the AI System has passed the Turing Test.
There are quite a few versions of the Turing Test. I am going to explain what is called the Standard Turing Test.
There are three entities. One of A and B is a Computer (AI System) and the other is a human.
And C is the interrogator. [See Diagram Attached]
A and B both cannot be seen by the interrogator C. The interrogator asks questions. Both A and B submit their responses. The interrogator doesn't know who gave which response.
The interrogator's task is to analyze the responses of questions, and determine which responses have come from the Computer or the AI System.
If C can successfully determine which one of A and B is the Computer, then the Computer is said to have failed the Turing Test.
If C cannot determine with confidence which one is human and which one is a Computer, then the Computer is said to have passed the Turing Test.
So, we see that Turing Test is designed to see how intelligent a Computer (or an AI System) is, and how much human-like responses can it give.
Hope it helps

Alan Turing was a British computer scientist, mathematician and philosopher who devised the Turing test.
It is a test which is used to determine whether a machine is capable of demonstrating intelligent behaviour equivalent to or indistinguishable from that of a human.
The test was proposed by him in 1950. It is the basis for the philosophy behind AI or artificial intelligence. In 1951 he proposed "The Imitation Game".
