Read Alan Turing’s “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” – you can find it here
http://loebner.net/Prizef/TuringArticle.html Is the Turing Test a good test for machine
intelligence? Why or why not? (you should read other sources including, at a minimum,
John Searle’s description of the Chinese Room at

2. [10 marks] What do you think would be a good test for Artificial Intelligence? Go to the
Assignment 1 discussion forum and post some ideas that you have about how you would
