This dynamic and entertaining discourse contains details of the test that Turing called the "Imitation Game". It is played like this: An interrogator sits in a room, alone and unseen, with a set of yes/no questions and a microphone. In another room, a human and a computer hear the questions through a speaker, and answer them electronically - and anonymously. If the interrogator is unable to tell the difference between the computer's answers and the human's answers, the computer may be called a "thinking machine".
In the above paragraph, dynamic means
thoughtful
moving

In Intelligent Machinery, a Heretical Theory, published in 1951, Turing argues that all forms of intelligence are supported by the ability to learn. He foresees software capable of examining and analyzing itself - and therefore aof learning, and ultimately, improving its own design. "it seems probably," Turning wrote, "that once the machine thinking methods had started, it would not take long to outstrip our feeble powers... At some stage therefore, we should have to expect the machines to take control.
Which word means the same as ultimately in the paragraph above?
earnestly
decidedly
emphatically
finally
