The Turing test, conceived by Alan Turing in 1950, allows participants to interact with person or a computer in separated room by speaking into a microphone or typing questions onto a computer. When they receive an answer by voice synthesizer or by texts on computer screens, subjects must determine whether they have been keeping in touch with a computer or with a human being. If they think that they have been interacting with a person or they are unable to decide, then the computer has passed the test, proving that the machine is actually capable of higher level thought processes similar to those of a human brain.
According to the lecture, however, a machine can be programmed to produce responses that appear to be intelligent without the awareness required for thought. In John Searle's Chinese room, an english-speaking person is able to respond to questions in Chinese by referring to source material that allows him or her to break the code without comprehending the underlying meaning of the symbols. The person can behave correctly without the higher-level thought required to process the meaning.
Therefore, a computer could pass the Turing test if it were programmed to generate behavioral output but the Test itself would be flawed. The experiment would not prove that a computer can think.
