AI and Consciousness: The Turing Test

from CogNation Hosted by Joe Hardy

In this first in a series discussing the topic of AI and consciousness, Rolf and Joe discuss the Turing Test, a proposal by Alan Turing in 1950 to address the question of whether computers could think. A recent paper (Jones & Bergen, 2025) has convincing shown several LLMs to be capable of passing the test. What does this mean for thinking (or even conscious) artificial intelligence models? Jones, C. R., & Bergen, B. K. (2025). Large language models pass the turing test. arXiv preprint arXiv:2503.23674.
