During the 1940s and 1950s, Turing published a paper \u2013 Computing Machinery and Intelligence \u2013 and in that paper, he detailed what the test was about.<\/p>\r\n<p>The <strong>Turing Test<\/strong>, explained in simple terms, is a means of determining whether or not a computer can think like a human. If a computer responds appropriately under specific conditions, it can be inferred that it demonstrates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickworker.com\/ai-glossary\/artificial-intelligence\/\">Artificial Intelligence<\/a> (AI).\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<section class=\"white section-space bottom_grey_separation_sm\">\r\n<div class=\"container\">\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-lg-12\">\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"section-headline mb-4\" id=\"world\">Turing Test in the Real World<\/h2>\r\n<p>The Turing Test uses three different terminals. Two of these terminals are occupied by humans and the third one by a computer.<\/p>\r\n<p>One of the humans acts as a questioner while the other human and the computer respond to the questions. These questions are on specific subject areas with an agreed-upon format. <\/p>\r\n<p>As the test progresses and after a set period of time, the human questioner is asked to determine which of the two respondents was a human and which one was a machine. This sequence of events is conducted several times, and if the machine is mistakenly judged as a human greater than 50% of the time, it is judged to have passed the Turing Test.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"section-headline mb-4\" id=\"AI\">Turing Test in the World of AI<\/h2>\r\n<p>Historically, there have been some limitations with the Turing Test. Primarily, the fact that questions needed to be formulated so that the answers could be provided in a Yes or No format. Open-ended questions were ones where the machine was often caught out.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Turing Test was first defeated in 1966 when Joseph Weizenbaum created a program known as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ELIZA\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ELIZA<\/a>. While ELIZA was not 100% successful, it was able to fool some judges. In some cases, additional persuasion was needed to prove that ELIZA was not only a machine; it was not human.<\/p>\r\n<p>More recently, the Turing Test was defeated in 1990 when Hugh Loebner created a chatbot called <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eugene_Goostman\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eugene<\/a>. Eugene was programmed to emulate a 13-year old Ukrainian boy, which helped ensure that the conversation did not get too broad. In the test that Eugene was a part of, he was able to convince 33% of the judges that he was human.<\/p>\r\n<p>While the Turing Test no longer holds as great weight in the world of AI, its impact has definitely been felt. In fact, today, reverse Turing Tests use <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CAPTCHA\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CAPTCHA<\/a> to require humans to prove they are not, in fact, machines.<br\/>\r\nA CAPTCHA for those not in the know stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart, which demonstrates the value of the Turing Test more than anything else.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T Turing Test Turing Test \u2013 Short Explanation Turing Test in the Real World Text annotation for machine learning in the World of AI Turing Test \u2013 Short Explanation When it comes to the field of robotics and AI, the English computer scientist Alan Turing holds a prominent place.
