What is the Turing test?

The Turing test is a test proposed by Alan Turing in 1950 to determine a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from that of a human. It involves a human judge engaging in a conversation with both a machine and a human, without knowing which is which. If the judge cannot consistently differentiate between the machine and the human based on their responses, the machine is said to have passed the Turing test and demonstrated artificial intelligence.
