Turing, A. M. (1950). Computing Machinery and Intelligence. Mind, 59(236), 433–460.

Alan Turing's seminal work on artificial intelligence considers the question: "Can machines think?"

According to Turing, as neither "machine" nor "thinking" can be defined unambiguously, it is apt to replace the question with another that is expressed in unambiguous terms. Hence, Turing suggests another question: Can the machine win an "Imitation Game" by impersonating a human, acting in a manner that is indistinguishable from a thinking being?
