Human-like behaviour key to AI models passing the Turing Test

OpenAI’s GPT-4.5 and Meta’s LLaMa models have passed the Turing Test, a benchmark proposed by Alan Turing in the 1950s to assess whether a machine can exhibit intelligent behaviour indistinguishable from humans. A pivotal moment for conversational AI, one easily eclipsed amid a flurry of intriguing developments, including ChatGPT’s Ghibli imaging, pursuit of Agentic AI (human-like responses are especially relevant for this frontier), breakthroughs in cancer detection using AI, and Google unlocking a ‘thinking’ Gemini 2.5 model.
