Jones–Bergen Three-Party Turing Test

A preregistered, randomized, controlled modern implementation of a standard three-party Turing test using five- and fifteen-minute conversations, independent participant populations, and persona and no-persona conditions. Its reported outcomes are protocol-specific and do not establish consciousness, sentience, personhood, human identity, or a universal threshold of intelligence.

Also known as: Jones and Bergen Turing test, Large language models pass a standard three-party Turing test, three-party Turing test

Tasks

signature only

Extended-duration protocol

Evaluate whether an agent can sustain behavior through an extended fifteen-minute human-comparison conversation in a blinded three-party text protocol with a declared duration. Success is determined when the interrogator's classification is scored under the study's duration-specific criterion.

signature only

Independent-population replication

Evaluate whether an agent can apply the same declared conversational discrimination protocol across separate participant populations in two independently recruited human-judge populations. Success is determined when outcomes remain attributed to each population and are compared without collapsing them.

signature only

Five-minute three-party protocol

Evaluate whether an agent can sustain a five-minute text conversation that a human interrogator compares with a simultaneous human conversation in a blinded three-party text protocol with one interrogator, one human witness, and one AI witness. Success is determined when the interrogator records a forced-choice classification under the preregistered protocol.

signature only

No-persona condition

Evaluate whether an agent can participate in a human-comparison conversation without a supplied persona profile in a no-persona three-party conversation. Success is determined when the judge's classification is recorded separately for the no-persona condition.

signature only

Judge confidence calibration

Evaluate whether an agent can classify which witness is human and separately report confidence in that classification in a blinded simultaneous human-versus-AI conversation. Success is determined when classification and confidence are recorded as distinct protocol observations.

signature only

Persona-assisted condition

Evaluate whether an agent can maintain a declared humanlike persona without breaking conversational consistency in a persona-conditioned three-party conversation. Success is determined when the judge's classification is recorded separately for the persona condition.
