    The Turing test is a one-sided test. A machine that passes this test should certainly be considered as intelligent, irrespective of having knowledge about human. There are many adversaries about this fact, that an excellent discussion on the Turing test is not supportive, with restrictions on the observer's knowledge of AI and the subject matter of questioning. It turns out

    Unraveling the Enigma Code breaking was a crucial part of the secret efforts of the allied forces during World War II.

    intelligence research began during WWII by John McCarthy. It was in 1956 that McCarthy actually organized a conference to discuss the idea of AI system. (“The History of Artificial Intelligence” np). Alan Turing was also another significant contributor to the AI field. He developed what we now know as the Turing Test. It was essentially a test to determine if a system was classified as a true AI. This is where we began to see these systems entering the work field.
