His idea, that once a machine deceives a human judge into believing that they are the human, then that machine should be attributed with intelligence. So conceived Alan Turing when he introduced a machine into the game. 'Abstract of chapter in book (Eds: Jordi Vallverdú & David Casacuberta): 'Handbook of Research on Synthetic Emotions and Sociable Robotics: New Applications in Affective Computing and Artificial Intelligence' The Turing Test, originally configured as a game for a human to distinguish between an unseen and unheard man and woman, through a text-based conversational measure of gender, is the ultimate test for deception and hence, thinking. NB: Evidence from other contributors to Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence here: Amazon’s Alexa assistant searches and provides answers to questions using Microsoft’s Bing browser, while Google’s Home uses the Chrome browser to find answers to users’ queries. What Turing did was posit a methodology to explore the intellectual capacity of a machine through a comparison of its ability to answer any questions, as we have come to expect from our hands-free, voice activated digital assistants like Amazon’s Alexa on its Echo and Echo Dot speaker, or Google’s Home, two leaders in the home listening devices ready to answer home occupiers any questions with increasing accuracy, such as everyday requests to be prepared for the weather, ‘Will I need an umbrella today?’ to general knowledge, ‘how far away is Uruguay from the UK?’, and our interest in learning ‘What causes hurricanes?’. Here we remind that Turing purposefully avoided defining intelligence, because as we know, defining words require other words which require explanations themselves.

Co-opted by business and the healthcare industry, AI is considered a marketing term (Luminary Labs, 2017).

Article: (AIC0066) In the sense that Alan Turing envisioned, in his scholarship on a machine’s intellectual capacity (Turing, 1950), before and after his codebreaking at Bletchley Park, before his death in 1954, Artificial Intelligence (AI) does not yet exist.
