Which of the following is the best example of a task historically used to illustrate the Turing Test in the introduction to AI?

The Turing Test judges a machine intelligent if a human evaluator, conversing with both a hidden machine and a hidden human, cannot reliably tell which is which. It tests human-like conversational behaviour, not storage capacity, encryption speed or arithmetic accuracy.

  1. AA human evaluator converses with a hidden machine and a hidden human, and the machine is judged intelligent if the evaluator cannot reliably tell them apartCorrect
  2. BA machine is judged intelligent if it stores more data than a human can
  3. CA machine is judged intelligent if it encrypts messages faster than a human evaluator
  4. DA machine is judged intelligent if it completes arithmetic calculations without errors

Explanation

The Turing Test, proposed by Alan Turing, measures whether a machine's conversational behaviour is indistinguishable from a human's. Storage, encryption speed and arithmetic accuracy do not test human-like conversational intelligence.
