The Turing Test is a test for defining whether a program qualifies to be called 'intelligent?'. The Turing test was devised by Alan Turing in the paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence (Mind, October 1950). It comes from a [party game]? where guests try to guess the gender? of a person in another room by writing a series
of questions on notes and reading the answers sent back.
The test for intelligence changes the question into whether the party answering the questions is a computer or a human?. The test uses a phenomenological definition of "intelligence", by not specifying any details about what needs to be done to make a computer able to pass the test.
