The Possibility of Machine Intelligence: Research on Turing’s Concept of Intelligence Abstract: The Turing Test is often interpreted as an “operational” or “behaviorist” definition of intelligence, and the ability to pass the Turing Test is considered a criterion for determining whether a machine possesses intelligence. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Turing never claimed that passing the Turing Test implies that a machine has intelligence. Attempting to directly address whether machines can think or possess intelligence was not the original purpose of the Turing Test. By examining Turing’s early conceptualization of intelligence, it becomes evident that he consistently maintained a firm belief in the possibility of machine intelligence, and he had already outlined potential approaches to achieving machine intelligence even before proposing the Turing Test. Key Words: Turing test; Machine intelligence; Turing; IntelligenceIssue:Volume 47, lssue 8, August 2025Page: 20-27
