what is turing test in ai

The Turing Test is a method of inquiry in artificial intelligence (AI) for determining whether a computer can exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to that of a human. It was proposed by Alan Turing in 1950 and involves a human judge engaging in a text-based conversation with both a human and a machine, and trying to determine which is which. If the judge is unable to distinguish between the human and the machine based on the conversation, then the machine is said to have passed the Turing Test. The test is widely used as a benchmark for evaluating the progress of artificial intelligence research and has inspired numerous studies and experiments aimed at developing human-like intelligence in machines
