What is Turing Test? What properties an agent should have to pass the Turing Test? [5]

The Turing Test was proposed by Alan Turing in 1950 as a way to determine whether a machine can exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. The test involves three participants: - A human interrogator (C) who com...

What is Turing test? How it can be used to measure intelligence of machine? [5]

The Turing Test was proposed by Alan Turing in his 1950 paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence", which is considered the first complete vision of AI. The Turing Test states that: A computer could be called intelligent if it passes the test where a huma...

What is AI? How can you define AI from the perspective of thought process? [5]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that deals with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers. It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs, that can perform ta...

How can you define AI from the dimension of behavioural process? When a machine is said to pass Turing Test? [5]

AI can be defined from four dimensions based on thinking/acting and humanly/rationally. The behavioural (process) dimension focuses on how a system acts rather than what it thinks internally. The two behavioural approaches are: "A computer could be called i...
