Turing developed a famous game (or exercise) now known as the "Turing Test" for intelligence. He posited that if a computer program could pass this test, it could justifiably be labeled "intelligent". He graduated from King's College Cambridge and received a Smith's Prize in 1936 for work on probability theory. He completed his PhD at Princeton in 1938. Turing had a vision that one day computers could be programmed to achieve abilities indistinguishable from human intelligence.
