![]() Based on the results of the Loebner 2000 contest and the accomplishments in the field of AI, as impressive as they are, Turing's prediction remains unfulfilled. In this classic article Turing presented his well known imitation game and predicted that about the year 2000 an average interrogator will not have more than 70 per cent chance of making the right identification after five minutes of questioning in the imitation game. His vision of the possibility of machine intelligence has been highly inspiring and extremely controversial. ![]() Turing believed that computers, if properly designed and educated, could exhibit intelligent behavior, even behavior that would be indistinguishable from human intelligent behavior. Turing's genius was not only in developing the theory of computability but also in understanding the impact, both practical and philosophical, that computing machinery would have. Indeed, most of the debate in the philosophy of artificial intelligence over the last fifty years concerns issues that were raised and discussed by Turing. This article is arguably the most influential and widely read article in the philosophy of artificial intelligence. Cite Permissions Share This content is only available as a PDF.
