Part of Alan Turing’s legacy is a test he proposed to examine computer intelligence. In 1950, Turing published a paper exploring the question: Can machines think? To find answers, he introduced an experiment now known as the Turing Test. It is a way to check if a computer can respond like a human during a conversation. The test includes three participants: a human judge, another person, and a computer. The judge asks the other person and the computer questions and reads their answers without knowing who gave them. If the judge can’t tell the computer’s response from the other person’s, the machine is considered intelligent.
艾倫．圖靈遺留的成果之一是他提出的一項測試，旨在檢驗電腦的智慧。1950 年，圖靈發表了一篇論文來探討「機器能思考嗎？」這個問題。為了找到答案，他提出了一項如今被稱為圖靈測試的實驗。這是一種測試電腦在對話中是否能像人類一樣做出反應的方法。該測試包括三名參與者：一名人類評判員、另一個人和一臺電腦。評判員向另一個人和電腦提出問題，並在不知道是誰作答的情況下閱讀他們的答案。如果評判員無法區分電腦和另一個人的回答，則該機器被認為具有智慧。
