“The Turing test is a suitable test to evaluate intelligence.”
The invention of machines through technological innovations has brought questions on whether artificial intelligence has a human intelligence level. Is it possible to tell the difference between a human and a machine through a conversation? To answer the question, Alan Turing provided an operational test for machine intelligence called the Turing test based on the mathematics of automated computing. Based on the theoretical aspect, measure, and practical application of machine intelligence measure makes the Turing test a suitable test to evaluate intelligence.
The machine power or act of understanding through the use of the Minimal Turing Test is significantly the same as humans. Machines can easily imitate the human aspects of the brain and assess their responses to different questions examined by an interrogator to identify between a real human and the machine. It is more often difficult to determine the difference indicating that machines are intelligent. Artificial intelligence has significantly adopted many features and human brain interactions, making them think and behave like humans. Through the Loebner Test and CAPTCHA systems, the machine proves intelligence by applying the Interactive Proof theory, distinguishing between humans and robots. The significant computer simulation scenarios have enabled the machines to emulate humans’ brain abilities in perception, action, and cognition through imitation that makes them study human behavior and attributes. Many games exist where humans engage with the machines without noticing the difference and converse with a machine mimicking the responder’s characteristics, convincing a person that they are talking with a real human being. Therefore, with the various tests and evidence on the theoretical and practical application of machine intelligence, the Turing test is a suitable test to evaluate intelligence.
