Will AI Make Interpreters and Sign Language Obsolete?

To understand the history of NLP, we have to go back to one of the most ingenious scientists of the modern era: Alan Turing. In 1950, Turing published "Computing Machinery and Intelligence", which discussed the notion of sentient, thinking computers. He claimed that there were no convincing arguments against the idea that machines could think like humans, and proposed the "imitation game", now known as the Turing Test. Turing suggested a way to measure whether or not artificial intelligence can think on its own: if it could correctly fool a human into believing it is a human with a certain probability, it can be thought of as intelligent.
