1950- The Turing Test


Computing Machinery and Intelligence, By A. M. Turing


"I propose to consider the question, "Can machines think?""

I've read about this article in science fiction and so on for years, but never came across the original article until now. It's dated, but more relevant all the time. A friend of mine suggested an alternative test for machine intelligence-- intentional creation of art.
