Imitation Game
Operational test for intelligent behavior
Computer should be interrogated by a human
Computer should possess:
Natural language processing (to communicate) – knowledge representation (to
store information) – automated reasoning (to answer questions and draw new
conclusion) – machine learning (to adapt new circumstances and to detect and
extrapolate patterns)


Thinking rationally
Logic ( A is X and all X are Y then A is Y)
Problems:
- not all informal knowledge state it into formal terms
