This paper explains that, using the philosophy of Alan Turing, the Turing Test examines the premise that a machine is deemed
intelligent if it is able to perform the same functions as a human. The paper points out that Turning agrees with the
Computational Theory of Mind, which is the idea that information processing in the mind is almost identical to the information processing in a digital computer; therefore, a thought can essentially be compared to a computation with the mind as the software and the brain as the actual hardware. The paper agrees with Turing that
intelligence is essentially computational and concludes that Turing and his variation on the Imitation Game have had a long lasting impact in the realm of artificial intelligence.
