Nicole Brandon introduces her short story, The Turing Test, which she read at Story Shop as part of this year’s Edinburgh International Book Festival. The Turing Test is an adaptation of the Greek myth Pygmalion, a tale about a sculptor who falls in love with the sculpture he carved, but takes its name from Alan Turing’s experiment which tested the ability of artificial intelligence to exhibit intelligent behaviour.
