The article proposes an updated Turing Test that incorporates energy consumption as a key metric, arguing that the original test is insufficient for distinguishing human from machine intelligence in the context of modern AI. It suggests that by adding an energy constraint, the test evaluates intelligence through the lens of efficiency, linking abstract thinking to tangible resource limits. The new test also provides a measurable, practical endpoint, encouraging society to balance AI time savings against total resource costs.

arXiv:2608. 05558v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper examines Turing's 1948 report, "Intelligent Machinery", as an important conceptual source for the later imitation games.
The paper analyzes Turing’s 1948 report "Intelligent Machinery" as a foundational source for later imitation games, highlighting key design concepts such as the possibility of machine errors, the exclusion of irrelevant physical traits, the role of a human judge, and Turing’s view that intellectual activity is largely search. It argues that limiting the human contestant to a weak chess player heightens the importance of intellectual search, making human behavior more comparable to machine behavior. This reframes the 1948 game as a human‑approximates‑machine scenario, suggesting that imitation games can probe when human intelligence becomes machine‑like under specific task constraints.
arXiv:2502. 20502v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have yielded powerful computational models that, by learning from vast amounts of human-generated data, are increasingly posited as approximate models of human cognition.
CogGym is a scalable, unified framework that standardizes diverse cognitive experiments into a task‑agnostic Experiment Markup Language (EML) for systematic comparison of human and AI behavior. The initial release curates 258 experiments from 100 papers focused on human commonsense reasoning and evaluates 50 large language models, revealing a scaling trend where larger models better reproduce human judgments but still lag far behind human split‑half reliability. The framework aims to continually incorporate new cognitive science experiments to track where model behavior aligns with or diverges from human cognition as models evolve.
