When speaking about AGI we need to have some way to tell if we have created a truly intelligent system. [Alan Turing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing) proposed a way called a **[Turing Test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test)**, which also acts like a definition of intelligence. The test compares a given system to something inherently intelligent - a real human being. And because any automatic comparison can be bypassed by a computer program, we use a human interrogator. So, if a human being is unable to distinguish between a real person and a computer system in text-based dialogue - the system is considered intelligent.

> A chat-bot developed in St. Petersburg by [Eugene Goostman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Goostman) in St.Petersburg came close to passing the Turing test in 2014 by using a clever personality trick. It announced up front that it was a 13-year old Ukrainian boy, which would explain the lack of knowledge and some discrepancies in the text. The bot convinced 30% of the judges that it was human after a 5 minute dialogue, a metric that Turing believed a machine would be able to pass by 2000. However, one should understand that this does not indicate that we have created an intelligent system, or that a computer system has fooled the human interrogator - the system didn't fool the humans, but rather the bot creators did!

✅ Have you ever been fooled by a chat bot into thinking that you are speaking to a human? How did it convince you?
