For a computer program to be considered artificial intelligence it must first past the Turning Test. “The Turing Test, proposed by Alan Turing in his seminal 1950 paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" as a method for determining in principle whether a computer possesses thought.”(Shieber 502-503) The turning test is a new take on an old concept. The original concept was an imitation

Annotated model Executive Summary This report evaluates the assumption that joints which display semiPurpose rigid behaviour can be modelled as frictionless pinned joints in building design calculations. The idealisation is evaluated by Method comparing computer simulations incorporating this assumption with experimental test data for the actual structure. The results Results show that the idealisation is safe and is usually conservative in estimating the structural strength; however these conclusions are
