The Imitation Game

Enigma decryption drama

*The Imitation Game* is a 2014 biographical film about mathematician Alan Turing and his work breaking German codes during World War II.

The title refers to a test Turing proposed for machine intelligence—whether a computer could convince a human it was also human.

The phrase now appears in discussions of artificial intelligence and what distinguishes human from machine thinking.
