Computing machinery and intelligence, written by Alan Turing and published in 1950, is a seminal paper on the topic of artificial intelligence in which the concept of what is now known as the Turing test was introduced. It was also the origin of the thesis that cognition is computation (computationalism)

His closing remark in the text was:

We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.

At this time, semantic in linguistic was not a theme to be discussed. After this article, however, things change dramatically. It was the idea of cognition as computation that reanimates the science of semantic.
