Paper re-examines Turing's 1948 imitation game concepts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This paper analyzes Alan Turing's 1948 report "Intelligent Machinery" as a foundational concept for imitation games. It identifies key design elements from Turing's chess-based imitation game, including the potential for machine errors, the exclusion of physical characteristics, the function of a human judge, and the idea that intellectual activity is primarily search. The paper further argues that limiting the human participant to a less skilled chess player enhances the role of intellectual search, making human behavior more akin to machine behavior and suggesting the imitation game can explore when human intelligence becomes machine-like under specific constraints.

    Turing's Frist Imitation Game: Design Concepts and a Human-Approximates-Machine Reading

    arXiv:2608.05558v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper examines Turing's 1948 report, "Intelligent Machinery", as an important conceptual source for the later imitation games. Its first contribution is to identify and integrate the design concepts underlying the 1948 chess-…
