In the mid of nineteenth century, the hypothesis, “machine can think,” became very popular after Alan Turing’s article on “ Computing Machinery and Intelligence .” This hypothesis, “machine can think,” established the foundations of machine intelligence and claimed that machines have a mind. It has the power to compete with human beings. In the first section, I shall explore the importance of Turing thesis, which has been conceptualized in the domain of machine intelligence. Turing presented a completely different view of the machine itself. It addressed philosophers, rather than the mathematicians, and proclaimed that digital computers might be considered as intelligent machines. This approach was wholly new, both philosophically and technically, and started many philosophical debates which continue to this day. He proposed an imitation game, as a test, what is now referred to as a Turing test to evaluate if a machine thinks. That is to say that the main aim of machine intelligence not only constructs challenging programs to solve our day-to-day problems but also reproduce mentality in machines and claimed that all the mental qualities are ascribable to machines. What will be attempted in this paper is a critical evaluation of the arguments against the Turing test put forward by many philosophers.

艾伦·图灵的心灵观

在十九世纪中叶，在艾伦·图灵（Alan Turing）发表有关“计算机械和智能”的文章之后，“机器可以思考”的假设变得非常流行。“机器可以思考”这一假设建立了机器智能的基础，并声称机器有头脑。它具有与人类竞争的能力。在第一部分中，我将探讨在机器智能领域已概念化的图灵论文的重要性。图灵对机器本身提出了完全不同的看法。它是针对哲学家而不是数学家的，并宣称数字计算机可以被视为智能机器。这种方法在哲学和技术上都是全新的，并且引发了许多哲学辩论，直到今天。他提出了一个模仿游戏，作为测试，现在称为图灵测试，用于评估机器是否思考。就是说，机器智能的主要目的不仅是构建具有挑战性的程序来解决我们的日常问题，而且还重现了机器的心态，并声称所有的心理素质都归因于机器。本文将尝试对许多哲学家提出的反对图灵检验的论点进行批判性评估。
