AI21 Labs Releases "Human or Not?", A Social Experiment Inspired by the Turing Test


Pairing up players with each other or with leading AI models, the game challenges users to guess who they are speaking - a human or a bot

TEL AVIV, Israel, April 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AI21 Labs, an Israeli startup aiming to fundamentally change the way people read and write using generative AI, has released "Human or Not?", a first-of-its-kind social Turing game experiment where players are paired with either a human or a bot to converse about whatever topic they choose. The bots are based on a number of different state-of-the-art Large Language Models, including AI21's very own Jurassic-2. AI21 Labs plans to use the learnings generated from the game to produce a detailed research report allowing the general public, researchers, and policymakers to further understand the state of AI bots.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in our day-to-day lives, many people have raised concerns about what it means for society as a whole. Questions have been asked about the ethics of using AI tools to complete school work, visual art, music and more, while tools have been created that can identify AI-written essays. In this real-time social game, AI21 Labs is aiming to question how easy - or ard - it is to tell the difference between an AI-powered bot or a human. In the game, players are paired with either another human player or a bot to converse about whatever topic they choose, with players needing to determine if their conversation was with a bot or a human after two minutes of talking.



"Human or Not provides the general public a taste of the recent advances in artificial intelligence in the field of language, beyond the typical customer service or productivity tool chatbots we've been seeing all over now" said Amos Meron, Creative Product Lead at AI21 Labs and creator of the project. "Users will be able to get insight into how advanced the field has become. Beyond the experience, we hope the game will also stimulate valuable discourse surrounding the capabilities of AI along with its limitations. This game will help us to better understand AI, and to make more informed, fair and safe use of the technology."
