Tech know-how to go: The Turing test or the question: Are machines capable of human-like intelligence?

Anyone who has ever wondered whether machines are really capable of human-like intelligence will inevitably come across the so-called Turing test. Our Tech-Know-how to go explains what's behind it.

The Turing test was developed by Alan Turing in 1950 and named after him. It assesses the ability of machines to demonstrate human-like intelligence, particularly in terms of communication and interaction. The test checks whether a machine exhibits behaviour that is indistinguishable from a human. ChatGPT and other AI models have already passed the test. The problem: current AI models may find clever solutions, but that doesn't mean they can think. Critics also point out that the test is too easy to pass, only tests functionality and not consciousness, and is also influenced by the prejudices and perspectives of real people.

What remains: The Turing test serves as a fundamental concept in the evaluation of artificial intelligence and has had a significant influence on research. It will continue to inspire and drive researchers in the development of artificial intelligence.
