the Turing Test

What is the Turing Test in AI?OptionsA test to evaluate the physical abilities of AI robots.A test to assess a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from that of a human.A test to measure the speed and efficiency of AI algorithms.A test to determine if AI can understand human emotions.

The Turing test considers which of the following traits as evidence of machine intelligence? Acting humanly Thinking humanly Acting rationally Thinking rationally

Give reasons for the unsuitability of the Turing test as a definition of“artificial intelligence” in practical AI.

Alun Turing, the British mathematician whose concepts in the early 1950s foreshadowed the modern-day digital computer, proposed a simple test to check for artificial intelligence. If a human judge, he said, engaged in a natural language text conversation with two other parties, one a human and the other a machine, and if the judge could not reliably tell which was which, then the machine would for all purposes have passed the test.As of 2006, no machine has managed to do that. But now a robot massager or Chabot has hit the internet. If it is so lifelike in its responses that many people have been fooled into thinking they’re talking to a human being.Invented by British scientists and nicknamed George, It’s programmed to show emotions, tell jokes, answer questions and engage in an intimate conversation on subjects as varied as love, life, and the universe.It can also speak 40 languages as its vocabulary continues to improve which, incidentally, is bound to happen considering George has already chatted with some two million people since its inception. George is also capable of carrying on a conversation with hundreds of different people at the same time from all over the globe. To some people, though, the scary part is that George continues to evolve.From expressing itself only as a disembodied text interface, a fully-animated 3D image of an androgynous-looking humanoid capable of an extensive range of gestures and expressions has recently been introduced to online audiences.This new George, unlike many other controversial programs, does not  merely try to be logical but attempts to form relationships and frequently behave illogically in order to seem more alive. This is exactly what had been predicted by people ever since the industrial revolution introduced the possibility of creating mechanical human beings, and Mary Shelley wrote Frankestein, based on a laboratory made semi-human creature.From expressing itself only as a disembodied text interface, a fully-animate 3D image of an androgynous-looking humanoid capable of an extensive range of gestures and expressions has recently been introduced to online audiences. This new George, unlike many other conversational programs, does not merely try to be logical but attempts to form relationships and frequently behave illogically in order to seem more alive.This is exactly what had been predicted by people ever since the industrial revolution introduced the possibility of creating mechanical human beings, and Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, based on a laboratory-made semi-human creature.The paranoia generated by such things has only gathered momentum since then so today the advent of powerful computers has led to an overwhelming feeling of fear of a complete takeover by machines in the future.The reason is that robotic creatures can now also be imbued with artificial intelligence which rivals that of human beings. When robots supersede human beings there would no longer be any need for the Turning Test, unless, of course, machines start testing us for intelligence instead.As understood from the passage, what makes ‘George” seem more life-like?A) Extensive range of gestures and expressionsB) Attempts to form relationshipsC) Ability to talk on varied subjectsD) Illogical behavior
