AI voice agents have already passed the Turing test for conversation, and within the year any voice conversation will feel indistinguishable from talking to another human.
Mati Staniszewski argues that text-based AI has effectively passed the Turing test and predicts voice AI will reach the same milestone within the year, making conversations indistinguishable from talking to a human. ✦ AI generated

It's it's almost crazy that each of us has like a a Turing uh like you know if you if you were to chat with an agent now it feels like um the Turing test will be complete it's as smart as another human. Uh and we hope this year we'll do that same thing for voice uh where any conversation feels like you are speaking with another human.

30:25depends on the application and like what question you ask. But it definitely passes it. I mean it if we were to look at the tests that were created to define artificial general intelligence or just to define artificial intelligence, we passed all of those. These were tests that were created 30 or 40 years ago. We need a new set of tests right now. I think the new test is like can this be
30:48more intelligent than every single person on the planet times 10. And if we get anything less than that, we we're kind of like, oh yeah, it's not smart. I mean, these things, we're kind of there on AGI, don't you think that we've kind of achieved it, we just haven't deployed it. I >> I am I there are definitely places where where we did achieve it. >> Yeah, for sure. All right. Continued
31:09success. Let's give it up for Mati from 11 Labs. Well done. Thanks for coming out. I'm going all in. >> The AI companies building the future run on Oracle cloud infrastructure, training and deploying at scale on one of the world's largest AI infrastructures. The same Oracle AI platform gives enterprises access to leading models AI grounded in their own data and the security to move from pilot to

I'm going all in. >> You're growing also at a very significant clip. >> Exponentially. >> Is it exponential? No, it's not exponential. >> Oh, it's a 50 sustained 50% quarter over quarter for the last seven quarters. >> 50% quarter over quarter. Last seven quarters. Yeah, that's that's pretty darn fast. So I think we actually just
32:02became as of the close last week on Tuesday one of the fastest enterprise company with a direct sales motion to go from one to 100 150 beating Sierra with one quarter. >> Amazing. Um and so um people I mean there's a couple of things in life that people really hate and paying lawyers is like way up on the top of the list. um with your tools obviously you got
