In the 1950s, mathematician Alan Turing released a paper entitled " Computing Machinery and Intelligence." Turing was interested in the idea that under the right circumstances, a machine could think like a human being. Instead, Turing's test, which is carried out through an activity called the Imitation Game, can only be used to evaluate whether a program's natural language processing (NLP), natural language generation (NLG) and natural language understanding (NLU) capabilities are strong enough for someone to think computer-generated responses came from a human being. Turing tests are controversial because while the mathematician Alan Turing was interested in the idea of whether or not a machine could think, the test he proposed does not do that.
