0:00.0	The From the home of the co-breakers and the birthplace of modern computing, this is the Bletchley Park podcast.
0:36.5	This is M.C. Fontaine, welcoming you to another Bletchley Park podcast Extra.
0:42.3	This week we bring you the final talk from this year's Turing Education Day.
0:47.1	Professor Kevin Warwick and Huma Shah explained the Turing test in a talk called Turing and Artificial Intelligence.
0:53.6	The Turing Test in a talk called Turing and Artificial Intelligence.
1:03.5	We're really looking now at the Turing test.
1:07.3	Alan Turing is all sorts of things that he was involved with.
1:13.1	Well, in the field of artificial intelligence, the Turing test is a well-known milestone.
1:19.1	There's all sorts of philosophical arguments about what it proves, what it doesn't prove, etc., etc.
1:25.8	In a sense, I'm going to skim through some of the philosophy, sort of sprinkle it in as we go through.
1:29.4	The main thing that Huma and I are going to look at are practical tests. The whole basis of this churing test is based on what Choring himself called
1:36.2	the Choring imitation game is to get a machine. And really, he was saying this back in 1950 1950 so he was looking ahead and to get a
1:46.3	machine a computer to pretend to be a human in a conversation to fool you the
1:53.0	interrogator so that you can't tell the difference the machine's performing so you're
1:58.8	going to have to perform a little bit yourself we're going to put you on trial as much as anything else
2:04.6	just one or two things to start with
2:07.7	touring had posed this as we've heard before as an experiment an argument rather than answering the question can machines machines think, this was a test? Rather along
2:20.6	the same lines, if you look at the person next to you and to decide, does that person think?
2:27.3	How will you decide that, okay, they look human and all that sort of stuff, but how can you test?
2:33.1	And it's that, sort of ask them a few questions, see how they answer.
2:37.3	It's like an interrogation as you would get in an interview procedure.
2:42.2	But very much the sort of first part, the first few minutes, that's what Charing was looking at.
