Correct Answer:
B. To determine whether a machine can exhibit human-like intelligence
Proposed by Alan Turing in 1950, the Turing Test remains a foundational concept in the philosophy of artificial intelligence.
- The primary purpose of the test is to determine whether a machine can exhibit human-like intelligence through natural language conversation, evaluating if a human judge cannot reliably tell the machine apart from a human participant.
- It does not measure hardware compute speeds, database transactional latency, encryption robustness, or software compilation debugging.
