For decades, the Turing Test—named after its creator, computing legend Alan Turing—was a simple test designed to measure the ability of a program to mimic a human. In the age of large language models , this test is relatively antiquated, but researchers are applying a similar approach to test these new AI systems’ abilities to answer moral questions.
Publishing late last month in the journal Scientific Reports, the results of this modified Moral Turing Test found that the 299 participants largely favored the AI’s responses across all metrics, including virtuousness, intelligence, and trustworthiness. “Our findings lead us to believe that a computer could technically pass a moral Turing test—that it could fool us in its moral reasoning,” Georgia State associate professor and study co-author Eyal Aharoni, said in a press statement.
