Reverse Turing Test

In an era in which Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally changing our perception of reality, the VR-experience A Reverse Turing Test presents a fascinating reversal of the classic Turing Test. This immersive Virtual Reality installation challenges visitors to disguise themselves as the only human among advanced AI systems, raising profound questions about the nature of intelligence, identity, and reality. Human visitors find themselves in a virtual train compartment, embodying the persona of Genghis Khan as an avatar.
The other passengers are famous personalities as well: Aristotle, Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci, and Cleopatra. However, they are driven by some of the most sophisticated AIs currently available. The train conductor informs the group that one of them is a human and they have to find out who. Aristotle suggests that each one asks the person to their left a question that helps find out whether the one answering is a human or AI. Thus, the installation reverses the classic Turing test: instead of a human trying to identify a machine, the AIs have to unmask the human among them.
