MIT Deep Learning Algorithm Passes an Important First Test

The Turing Test was designed by Alan Turing as a way of measuring how good a machine is at imitating human behavior. Passing the test means that the difference between a machine and human is imperceptible. In popular culture, the Turing Test is often portrayed as a computer attempting to seem as human as possible to the point where humans mistake it as one of their own. However, this is only one application of the Turing Test, which has different types. For instance, some machines can mimic human sounds while other can visually compete with what a human can do-- which is a large step toward autonomous vehicles.
