![]() ![]() ![]() What Turing did was posit a methodology to explore the intellectual capacity of a machine through a comparison of its ability to answer any questions, as we have come to expect from our hands-free, voice activated digital assistants like Amazon’s Alexa on its Echo and Echo Dot speaker, or Google’s Home, two leaders in the home listening devices ready to answer home occupiers any questions with increasing accuracy, such as everyday requests to be prepared for the weather, ‘Will I need an umbrella today?’ to general knowledge, ‘how far away is Uruguay from the UK?’, and our interest in learning ‘What causes hurricanes?’.
