In his 1950 paper "[[Computing]] Machinery and Intelligence" (Mind 49: 433-460) Turing proposed a test (apparently heavily influenced by [[Logical Positivism]]) for establishing whether a computer could think (see [[artificial intelligence]]). This test, the turing test, is still widely considered to be the best test of whether a machine exhibits [[artificial intelligence]].
