Eventually it's inevetable that a machine will become complex enough to fully emulate a human brain; at that point it will be impossible to tell. A much further distance into the future that machine may exist on the same physical scale as a human brain. Before that, who knows? A machine doesn't really need the full functioning of a brain in order to emulate the portions that manage information processing and personality, so it's reasonable to assume that once a machine grows powerful enough to emulate only those portions it will be able to pass the test. It's also possible that algorithmic shortcuts exist that can do the job much easier and faster than actual emulation - such as neural networks (which are analogous, but not really emulative). |

It may happen one day but think about the numb3rs episode that the computer was built just to pass the test. People will probably try to copy that as well and fake the test. You can never tell because human nature is unpredictable so it could pass and still be faked. |

It's already happened. Get with the times, lockergnome! Wow! Kind of disturbing. 1
Not all that surprising ;) As you said, Turing didn't specify the sophistication of the judges... |


Will Machines revolt against Humans like in the Matrix, Terminator, etc.?
