The Turing Test

A computer requires many things to be able to pass a Turing test. First of all, a computer must be able to understand human languages, and be able to communicate with humans on an equivalent level. Advanced Turing computers should account for all types of spoken language, including all dialects and irregularities. This means understanding human language grammer and syntax as well as any intelligent person, so that there would be no difference between the two. Of course, in order to store these types of information, the unit must have a rather large storage system with the ability to hold an amount of information equivalent to the human brain. Beyond this, a personality and emotional senses are also required, as it would merely appear as a inhuman machine with a large capacity to store and memorize information without any other human qualities. This memorization displays a sheer ability to copy an intelligent person rather than being intelligent itself. The computer would have to be able to use logic to make rational decisions like a human being, and should show an ability to learn from mistakes and change.
