1. Turing test
What is a Turing test? What kind of capabilities the computer needs to possess in
order to pass the test? What problems does it have?
2. Definitions of AI
Categories:
Definitions:
2) "The study of how to make computers do things at which, at the moment, people
are better." (Rich and Knight, 1991)
3) "The exciting new effort to make computers think ... machines with minds, in the
full and literal sense." (Haugeland, 1985)
4) "The study of computations that make it possible to perceive, reason, and act."
(Winston, 1992)
5) "The art of creating machines that perform functions that require intelligence
when performed by people." (Kurzweil, 1990)
6) "[The automation of] activities that we associate with human thinking, activities
such as decision-making, problem solving, learning " (Bellman, 1978)

5. PEAS
The Turing test is a test for evaluating the level of intelligence of computer AIs. A
human interrogator poses some written questions to the computer, which passes
the test if the interrogator cannot tell whether the answers come from a person or
not.
The Turing test is not an objective and reproducible test. It is not amenable to
mathematical analysis.
2. Definitions of AI solution
a) 3, 6
b) 8, 4
c) 5, 2
d) 1, 7
No, although the computer programs are already challenging the highest ranking (9
dan) professional players.
Yes, for example Google Self-Driving Cars have been in real world testing for several
years.
Yes, although the test is very subjective and depends on the judges.
No, computer programs are able to translate many languages to some extent but
high quality translation of a book or other major piece of writing is still outside their
capacity.
Yes, millions of vacuum cleaner robots have been sold world wide, although most of
them are limited to floor level.
Yes, for instance USA military used such planning and logistics software during the
Desert Storm military operation in 1991.
h) Fly a plane from take off to landing without any human intervention.
Yes, several unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) like Global Hawk are able to operate
without human intervention.
i) Do a complete surgery.
No, software controlled robots are used to assist human surgeons but are not yet
able to carry out the complex operation fully by themselves.
No, the full comprehension of human speech requires human level AI. We are no
there yet.
