The Turing test, as defined by Turing (1950), measures intelligence by
ASolving mathematical theorems faster than humans
BIndistinguishability of written responses from a human
CBeating a chess grandmaster in tournament play
DOutperforming humans on standardised IQ tests
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Indistinguishability of written responses from a human
Turing's 'imitation game' is an operational test: a human interrogator exchanges written messages with an unseen party and must judge whether the responses come from a human or a computer. Indistinguishability is the criterion.
