Alan Turing invented the test which pits human vs. human or computer, and then tries to statistically analyze the results. If a human can be fooled into believing that he/she is talking to another human, Then, the test is completed and the bot program or A.I. is then eligible for the Loebner Prize, which is the prize awarded annually to the "Most Human Computer" This is how my understanding of the process has culminated through brief encounters with these matters over the past 8 to 10 years. As to whether MR. Turing ever took his own test? Well, This observer can only speculate, I would encourage anyone who reads this to do research if they are so inclined. Some may care, some may not, but the question "will" remain, that much is clear if it is un-answered.":) One final note: It is curious to note that the number of bots available for "Chatting" has increased by at least three-fold over the last 10 years or so. Maybe even at a more rapid rate. One more point, and then I shall lay this "matter" to rest. The rate of "Shall we call it: "Intellectual Prowess" has definitely been on the incline in bots of all sorts. This seems mainly due to a dedicated band of "like-minded" citizens (I don't like to label!) that have done some meticulous work at keeping ahead of the "Curve" so to speak.

Who created a test that provided a foundation for artificial intelligence?

If by Test you are pointing to the very well known "Turing Test".This test was developed by Alan Turing and was published in his paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" in the year 1950


Who created the test that provided a foundation for Artificial Intelligence?

Alan Mathison Turing created the test for Artificial Intelligence known as the Turing Test.Turing Test helps in identifying/declaring whether a machine is intelligent or not.


Why was Alan Turing a significant figure?

As quoted from simple English Wikipedia..."Alan Mathison Turing (June 23, 1912 - June 7, 1954) was an English mathematician and computer scientist.He was one of the first people to work with modern digital computers. He was the first person to think of using a computer for different things. He told people that computers could run different programs. Turing introduced the idea of a Turing machine in 1936. The machine was imaginary, and ran a set of commands.Turing also thought of the Turing test. The Turing test is a test to see if a person can tell the difference between another person and a computer.During the Second World War, Turing was a main participant in the efforts to break German ciphers. On the basis of cryptanalysis he helped to break both the Enigma machine and the Lorenz SZ 40/42 (a teletype cipher attachment codenamed "Tunny" by the British), and was, for a time, head of Hut 8, the section responsible for reading German naval signals.Alan Turing was a gay man. In 1952, Turing admitted having sex with a man. At that time in England, homosexuality was a crime. He was tried and convicted of this crime in a British court. and was forced to make a choice. He had to choose between going to jail or "chemical castration" (taking female hormones like estrogen to lower his sex drive). He chose the hormones. But this made him impotent (unable to have sex) and made him grow breasts. After suffering these effects for two years, he committed suicide (killed himself) with an apple poisoned with cyanide in 1954.The treatment forced on him is now believed to be very wrong, going against medical ethics and international laws of human rights, and malpractice by most doctors."


Is the turing test a real measure of intelligence?

No, it measures a computer's similarity to human intelligence. If it can make an answer to a random question and sound human, then it's passed.


Can you take a GRE test online?

You can take up the Mock test for GRE online but there is no way possible to take up the test online. You can do so in the test center but not from the location of your convince.
