Alan Turing and AI

Alan Turing, an English mathematician, he was a leader in Artificial Intelligence.Alan was said to be good at code-breaking and computer science, so he was often considered as the father of computer science. When he became famous for something called the turning test he became involved with artificial intelligence.This test was introduced by Turing in the 1950s.It was based on a question that asked if machine could think as human does and if machine could imitate human intelligence. He used a human judge needed to distinguish the works done by human and machine separately. If the judge couldn’t tell which one was done by the machine, then the machine passed the test and was said to be intelligent because it meant the work done by the machine had closely resembled the one done by the human. Since then it has been used for the past 50 years.
