Is the Turing Test Outdated? 5 Turing Test Alternatives

Over 70 years ago, when artificial intelligence was conceptualized, Alan Turing published a paper that described how to identify it. It was later known as the Turing test, and it has been used for decades to distinguish between a human and an AI.

However, with the introduction of advanced AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Google Bard, it's becoming more difficult to tell if you're talking to an AI. It begs the question; is the Turing test outdated? And if it is, what are the alternatives?

Freedom of Speech and AI Output

Is the output of generative AI entitled to First Amendment protection? We’re inclined to say yes. Even though current AI programs are of course not people and do not themselves have constitutional rights, their speech may potentially be protected because of the rights of the programs’ creators. But beyond that, and likely more significantly, AI programs’ speech should be protected because of the rights of their users—both the users’ rights to listen and their rights to speak. In this short Article, we sketch the outlines of this analysis.
