turing test
     
         a criterion proposed by alan
        turing in 1950 for deciding whether a computer is
        intelligent.  turing called it "the imitation game" and
        offered it as a replacement for the question, "can machines
        think?"
     
        a human holds a written conversation on any topic with an
        unseen correspondent nowadays it might be by electronic
        mail or chat.  if the human believes he is talking to
        another human when he is really talking to a computer then the
        computer has passed the turing test and is deemed to be
        intelligent.
     
        turing predicted that within 50 years by the year 2000
        technological progress would produce computing machines with a
        capacity of 109 bits, and that with such machinery, a
        computer program would be able to fool the average questioner
        for 5 minutes about 70 of the time.
     
        the loebner prize is a competition to find a computer
        program which can pass an unrestricted turing test.
     
        julia http://fuzine.mt.cs.cmu.edu/mlm/julia.html is a
        program that attempts to pass the turing test.
