Can computers ever be intelligent? Hollywood would like to think so. Ever since the
early 1960s, free thinking machines have entered the mainstream of Science-Fiction
films, from the evil "Hal" from 2001: A Space Odyssey to the elegant "Data" in Star T
to Turing’s criterion.
In 1950, Alan Turing devised a test to determine intelligence of a digital computer in
his historic essay, Computing Machinery and Intelligence . His name for the test was
the "Imitation game," which was later named the "Turing Test" by members of the AI
test was held on November 8, 1991 in Boston's Computer Museum. The contest was
called the Loebner Contest, named after a business man Hugh Loebner who offered
a $100,000 dollar prize to the author of the first program to pass the full Turing test. In t
To this day, the AI community cannot agree on how it is we are intelligent. If we are
conscious, self-aware, understanding, rational beings, and we are also intelligent, are
we intelligent because we are conscious, self-aware, and rational, or are these
achine’s outward behavior is indistinguishable from the intellectual behavior of a
human, then the machine is intelligent. Turing implies that what is happening within
the computer is irrelevant to the question of intelligence. This definition omits the The
definition of intelligence Turing proposed almost fifty years ago still remains a valid
one. Members of the AI community have accepted his definition as a law. Still others
refute his definition. In attempt to show that Turing’s definition of intel 1. Store
