Experts question Turing test relevance for modern AI

The Turing test, designed to assess a machine's ability to exhibit human-like intelligence, is increasingly considered obsolete in the face of advanced AI. Modern AI systems are evolving beyond mere imitation. Large language models like GPT-4 have shown success in mimicking human conversation, even exceeding Turing's predictions. However, experts now argue that the test focuses on imitation rather than genuine intelligence and alignment with human values. The focus is shifting towards evaluating AI's ability to reason, achieve goals, and align with human values, rather than simply mimicking human behavior. New frameworks are needed to assess AI's capabilities and ensure it enhances human well-being.
