US Startup's AI Avatar Passes for Human in Simulated Job Interview Test
US startup Tavus has developed an AI avatar named Griffin that convincingly mimics human interviewers, fooling 48 of 54 participants in a simulated job interview. The technology generates real-time video frames from a single image, replicating facial expressions, gestures, and environmental details. Participants who believed the avatar was human were 79% confident, while those identifying it as AI were 81% confident. Tavus suggests Griffin could pass the Turing Test, highlighting advances in AI-driven human-like communication.
