In the decade since, many more programs have purported to pass the Turing test. The first attempt at passing the test came in the mid-1960s when computer programmers designed a chatbot named Eliza to mimic a psychologist, and in 2014, the first AI to reportedly pass the test (this is debated) was Eugene Goostman, a program designed to simulate the responses of a 15-year-old Ukrainian boy. If the computer successfully tricks the questioner into thinking it's a human, then it has passed the Turing's test. In this “imitation game,” as Turing originally described it, a human participant blindly asks questions to both a human and a computer. Many tests and benchmarks have been proposed as a replacement with the latest proposal, called the AI Classification Framework, aiming many different types of intelligence beyond language and mathematicsįirst proposed in 1950, the “Turing Test”-named after renowned British computer scientist Alan Turing-is a hypothetical framework to test the intelligence of an AI system.

For nearly a decade, programmers have created AI reportedly beating the Turing Test while experts argue that test is an imperfect benchmark of "true" intelligence.For more than 70 years, the Turing Test has been a popular benchmark for analyzing the intelligence of computers.
