Acting humanly: Turing Test

Turing (1950) "Computing machinery and intelligence":
"Can machines think?" "Can machines behave intelligently?"
Operational test for intelligent behavior: the Imitation Game

Predicted that by 2000, a machine might have a 30% chance of fooling a lay person for 5 minutes
Anticipated all major arguments against AI in following 50 years

Turing suggested the major components (areas) of AI:
Knowledge representation
Automated reasoning (use the stored knowledge and draw new conclusions)
Machine learning (detect patterns, adapt to circumstances)
Natural language processing (to communicate)
For physical simulation of human also:
Computer vision (perceive objects)
Robotics (manipulate objects, move about)
Full Turing test
