Making the Right Identification in the Turing Test

Abstract

The test Turing proposed for machine intelligence is usually understood to be a test of whether a computer can fool a human into thinking that the computer is a human. This standard interpretation is rejected in favor of a test based on the Imitation Game introduced by Turing at the beginning of “Computing Machinery and Intelligence.”
