Turing proposes the imitation game
A paper reframes the question of machine thinking as an observable test.
Alan Turing published Computing Machinery and Intelligence in the October 1950 issue of Mind. The paper proposes the imitation game as a way to examine Machine Intelligence.
This entry marks a publication, not the beginning of alignment research. Its place here is background: how intelligence is recognized is a different question from what a system should do.
