"Computing Machinery and Intelligence" (article)

"Computing Machinery and Intelligence" is a seminal 1950 paper by Alan Turing that explores whether machines can think like humans. Turing introduces the "imitation game," now known as the Turing Test, where a machine's ability to convincingly imitate human responses determines its intelligence. The paper questions if machines can exhibit behaviors considered intelligent and discusses the potential and limitations of artificial intelligence. Turing's work laid the foundation for modern AI, prompting ongoing debates about machine consciousness and whether a machine's ability to simulate human thinking signifies genuine intelligence.
