Turing test that was designed in 1950 to see if the computers can think.
The reading passage mainly discusses about the Turing test that was designed in 1950 to see if the computers can think. Turing test involved groups of people sitting in other room to interect with the either the computer or person sitting in another room. According to the test, group of people could ask the questions verbally or through the computer terminal. If after the end of test they are not able to distinguish between human and computer, then computer would be considered to pass the test.
But since then, no computers have been developed that could pass the turing test.
However, the lecturer casts doubt on the ideas presented in the reading. The lecture suggests that turing test is is not efficient and it does not consider behavioural aspect. If an English speaking person listens the question in different language, he may not be able to answer it properly even if he knew the answer. But, if the question is explained to him in his native language, he can respond properly. Similarly, a computer can be built with complex inputs to provide desired output but this does not mean that computers can think. It can't be inferred that they develop their own answer. They cannot even answer the basic questions of artificial intelligence like "Do the computers think"?
