Turing Centenary Speech by Bruce Sterling
So, let’s talk a little bit about Turing’s famous test for intelligence, the “imitation game.” Everybody thinks they know what that is: it’s a man talking to a computer, and the computer is trying to convince him that he’s not a machine, he’s a man.
If he talks like a man and knows what a man knows, if he presents as a man, then we don’t have to get into the dark metaphysical issues of what’s going on in his black-box heart and spirit; the machine keeps up the façade, so therefore he’s one of us, he’s perfectly fine. That’s the Turing Test as it’s commonly described.

However, that’s by no means what Turing actually says in his original paper on the subject. The real Turing imitation game is not about that process at all. It’s about an entirely different process of gender politics and transvestism. It’s about a machine imitating a woman.

Queen pardons computing giant Alan Turing 59 years after his suicide
Queen Elizabeth II just granted a rare “mercy pardon” to Alan Turing, the computing and mathematics pioneer whose chemical castration for being gay drove him to suicide almost 60 years ago.
http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/12/23/22025978-queen-pardons-computing-giant-alan-turing-59-years-after-his-suicide?lite
Turing was one of the leading scientific geniuses of the 20th century — the man who cracked the supposedly uncrackable Enigma code used by Nazi Germany in World War II and the man many scholars consider the father of modern computer science.

For the First Time Ever, a Computer Passed Turing Test for Artificial Intelligence
Recently, at the University of Reading in London, a computer convinced human judges that it was actually a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy.

This happened a few weeks prior to his 102nd birthday. By convincing one-third of the judging panel of its humanity, it became the first computer ever to pass the famous Turing Test.

Alan Turing (1912–1954)
British mathematician and logician Alan Turing is regarded as the founder of computer science. Stationed at Bletchley Park, Britain’s wartime codebreaking center, he played a crucial role in cracking intercepted coded messages that enabled the Allies to defeat the Axis powers in many crucial engagements. Turing was prosecuted in 1952 for homosexual acts. He died from cyanide poisoning on June 7, 1954, probably self-inflicted, although evidence suggests it could also have been the result of an accident. In 2009, the British government apologized for the “appalling” way Turing had been treated. In 2013, Queen Elizabeth II granted him a posthumous pardon.
