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.
