Theory of Mind (ToM) is a hallmark of human cognition, allowing individuals to reason about others' beliefs and intentions. Engineers behind recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have claimed to demonstrate comparable capabilities. This paper presents a model that surpasses traditional ToM tests designed for 3-year-old children, providing strong support for the presence of ToM in AI systems.
