Question

Alan Turing’s 1950 paper titled ”COMPUTING MACHINERY AND INTELLIGENCE”

1. Turing suggested that one of the strategies for the machine to win the Imitation Game is to show accuracy in arithmetic. True or False?

2. Turing required all digital computers to do well in the Imitation Game. True or False?

3. Turing believed that digital computers can be constructed to mimic the actions of a human (computer) very closely. True or False?

4. Turing suggested that a machine could intentionally introduce mistakes in the Imitation Game in a manner calculated to confuse the interrogator. True or False?

5. Turing believed that the digital computer must have infinite storage capacity. True or False?

6. Turing argued that it may be easier to program a machine to simulate the mind of a child. True or False?

Explanation / Answer

1)false

The game may perhaps be criticised on the ground that the odds are weighted too heavily against the machine. If the man were to try and pretend to be the machine he would clearly make a very poor showing. He would be given away at once by slowness and inaccuracy in arithmetic.

2)false

3)true

according to the principles we have described, and that they can in fact mimic the actions of a human computer very closely.

4)true

5)true

6)true

thank you
