Since its conception by the British computer scientist Alan Turing, the so-called Turing Test has served as an unofficial benchmark for artificial intelligence. The test is conceptually simple.

In 1950 Alan Turing devised a thought experiment that has since been revered as the ultimate test of machine intelligence. He called it the “imitation game,” but most people know it as the Turing test ...

Mathematician Alan Turing proposed that machines would one day be able to think and behave like humans (see Nature 619, 686–689; 2023). This vision was challenged by neurosurgeon Geoffrey Jefferson, ...

The test of a new paradigm is often the extent to which it can settle old issues that other perspectives have failed to resolve. Where the diametric model of the mind is concerned, I have already ...
