US Startup's AI Avatar Successfully Mimics Human in Job Interview Test
A US startup, Tavus, developed an AI avatar named Griffin that convincingly mimics human behavior in job interviews. In a simulated test, 48 of 54 participants believed they were interacting with a real person. Griffin generates realistic video frames in real time, including facial expressions, gestures, and environmental details. CEO Hassaan Raza highlighted the importance of non-verbal cues in communication. The results suggest Griffin may pass the Turing Test, demonstrating advanced AI-human interaction capabilities.
