Generalizing the Turing Test to Interactive Agents

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2605.10851v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We initiate the study of the Generalized Turing Test (GTT), a formal generalization of Turing's imitation game from humans to arbitrary interactive agents. For agents $A$ and $B$, $A$ passes the GTT against $B$ if an instance of $B$, acting as a distinguisher, cannot reliably distinguish an $A$ instructed to imitate $B$ from another instance of $B$; if so, we write $A \geq B$. We study the theoretical and empirical consequences of this idea. On the theory side, we prove sufficient conditions under which this "Turing Comparator" is transitive. We introduce natural variants with querying (the imitator can first interact with a specimen of the target), a Universal Turing Test with arbitrary distinguishers and targets, and complexity-th
