OBJECT RECORD / AIM-DOC-1950-001

Computing Machinery and Intelligence

A paper that replaced an untestable question with an observable game.

CURATORIAL READING

Why it is here

Turing did not settle whether machines think. He proposed a practical way to examine machine behaviour through language, and then worked through objections to that proposal.

Evidence boundary

Notice the move from defining “thinking” to describing a testable encounter. That change of method is the object’s lasting importance.
