The 2014 Hollywood movie The Imitation Game relays the story of Alan Turing, a British computer scientist who was instrumental in decoding secret German military communications and, consequently, helping to defeat the Nazis in World War II. Turing worked in the area of artificial intelligence and was fascinated with whether or not a computer would ever be able to think as well as a human. Indeed, one of his lasting legacies is what is called the Turing Test: A computer could be said to think like a human if, when verbally interacting with a human, the human could not distinguish it from an actual human conversation partner.

What are your attitudes toward intelligent robots? Take a minute and answer the following questions and then turn the page to see what others think.
