Alan Turing — "The idea of a 'mind' is a human construct, and it may not apply to machines."

"The question is not whether machines can think, but whether they can be made to think like humans."

"I've now got myself into the kind of trouble that I have always considered to be quite a possibility for me, though I have usually rated it at about 10:1 against."

"A computer is a universal machine, capable of carrying out any calculation that can be performed by a human."

"It is not easy to devise a game which is fair in this respect between the machine and the man."

"We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done."
