<human>:  Why is it called the Turing test?
<bot>: The Turing test was invented by Alan Turing in 1950, and is named after him. The test is a way of determining whether a machine is intelligent. It is a thought experiment in which a human judge asks a person two questions, and then judges whether the person is a human or a machine. The test is considered a way to measure intelligence, but it has been criticized as being too simplistic and not very useful.
