Benedict Cumberbatch’s portrayal as Alan Turing in the 2014 film, The Imitation Game earned him an Oscar nomination. In this scene, he describes what has become known as the Turing Test. Introduced in 1950, this test determines if a machine can exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from a human. In short, its goal is to determine if a machine can think.

While there are all kinds of philosophical debates about the validity of such a test, it has become ever more relevant in a world where Artificial Intelligence has emerged from the lab and is becoming part of our everyday experience. But Kent Morita, a Conversation Designer on the Google Gemini project, has a hot take about how the Turing Test has become irrelevant.

We discuss: • The Rebranding of Bard to Gemini • Conversational Design and Large Language Models (LLMs) • Insights about the NYU Mascot • A Unique, Educational Application of an LLM • Challenges of Working with LLMs • Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence • How Businesses May Guard Against Bad LLM Behavior • How Storytelling Inspires Creativity
