The chat-bot mimicked the personality of a 13-year-old boy. In 2014, chat-bot named Eugene Goostman passed the Turing test when it received votes from 33% of the judges who believed that the chat-bot was human. However, machines didn’t pass until the year 2014. Alan Turing made this prediction that by the year 2000, machines will pass the Turing Test. The winner (Need not pass the Turing Test) is one whose computer receives the most number of votes, irrespective of the fact whether 30% of the judges vote for it. The competition had additional rules where computer programs need to have 25 minutes conversation with the four presiding judges. Another prominent form of the Turing Test is The Loebner Prize which is an annual Turing Test competition that was started in 1991. The machine is considered successful if, after five minutes of communication, 30% of the judges consider the computer as humans. To reduce human errors, the modern Turing Test has multiple human interrogators. The recent version of the game has just one responder, and the interrogator has to find out if the responder is a computer or human. Responder: (After a brief pause) Rook to R8 and checkmate.īased on this conversation, the interrogator has to decide whether the responder is human or a computer. As per Turing, the computer is deemed successful, if the interrogator decided incorrectly as often when the responder is the computer (the game is played with the computer) as when the game is played with a man and a woman. If the interrogator is equally likely to pick either of the two or unable to distinguish between the two, we can say that the computer has successfully demonstrated human-like intelligence. Based on the dialogue with these two parties, the interrogator has to decide which one is a computer and which one is a human responder.

The computer and Human responder sits on two separate terminals and an Interrogator who is unaware of their identity asks a series of questions with both of them. It has one computer, one human responder, and one human interrogator. Turing test is played with three players. The machine passes the test if the interrogator (Judge) cannot decide whether the response is coming from a machine or a human. He believed that a computer/machine could be considered intelligent only if it can mimic human-like responses. As per the research paper by Alan Turing, the test was called ‘The Imitation Game’. The test was designed to check whether a machine can exhibit Human-like Intelligence in its work or thought process. This article will see an outline of the Turing Test in AI, which was introduced by renowned mathematician Alan Turing in 1950.
