It was in this paper that he established the Turing Test, also known as the Imitation Game, posing the question that would shape the modern world: \u201cCan machines think?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:0px;text-align:left;\">Today, more than 1,600 Manchester researchers are designing and applying AI to tackle global challenges, transform industries, enhance public services, and improve lives.
