Turing Test: Intelligence
built 279 days ago
There are perhaps only two ways in which someone who claims that The Turing Test offers logically sufficient conditions for the attribution of intelligence can respond to Block's argument. First, it could be denied that Blockhead is a logical possibility; second, it could be claimed that Blockhead would be intelligent (have a mind, think).

The Minimum Intelligent Signal Test proposed by Chris McKinstry, is another variation of Turing's test, but where only binary responses are permitted. It is typically used to gather statistical data against which the performance of artificial intelligence programs may be measured.

There is a 2004 MIT Press book about the Turing Test with a collection of classical readings by authors ranging from Descartes to Chomsky: Stuart M. Shieber (ed.): The Turing Test. Verbal Behavior as the Hallmark of Intelligence.

Turing's imitation principle perhaps ... assumes (like ‘intelligence tests’ of that epoch) too much of a shared language and culture for his imagined interrogations. Neither does it address the possibility that there may be kinds of thought, by animals or extra-terrestrial intelligences, which are not amenable to communication.

Real Turing tests, such as the Loebner prize, do not usually force programs to demonstrate the full range of intelligence and are reserved for testing chatterbot programs. However, even in this limited form these tests are still very rigorous.

More recent philosophers, on the other hand, have often cited a particular syllogism in defense of the utility of the Turing test for satisfying the concept of Artificial Intelligence. This syllogism runs as follows:
