What Is Natural Language Processing and How Does It Work? - Text2Speech Blog

In 1950, Alan Turing published his famous paper titled "Computing Machinery and Intelligence". The paper proposed a test to determine if a machine was artificially intelligent. Basically, Turing said that if a machine could have a conversation with a human and trick the human into thinking the machine was a person itself, then it was artificially intelligent. This became known as the Turing Test, and passing it has been one of the most sought after goals in computer science. Passing the Turing Test would signal the birth of artificial intelligence.
