Exercise 1.2

Read Turing’s original paper on AI @Turing:1950. In the paper, he discusses several objections to his proposed enterprise and his test for intelligence. Which objections still carry weight?

In the paper, he predicts that, by the year 2000, a computer will have a 30% chance of passing a five-minute Turing Test with an unskilled interrogator. What chance do you think a computer would have today? In another 50 years?
