V-Tech Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 It'll take a long time before we see a J.A.R.V.I.S. in real life -- University of Illinois at Chicago researchers put MIT's ConceptNet 4 AI through the verbal portions of a children's IQ test, and rated its apparent relative intelligence as that of a 4-year-old. Despite an excellent vocabulary and ability to recognize similarities, the lack of basic life experience leaves one of the best AI systems unable to answer even easy "why" questions. Those sound simple, but not even the famed Watson supercomputer is capable of human-like comprehension, and research lead Robert Sloan believes we're far from developing one that is. We hope scientists get cracking and conjure up an AI worthy of our sci-fi dreams... so long as it doesn't pull a Skynet on humanity. http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/16/uic-artificial-intelligence-test-common-sense/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soumyasch Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Study reveals AI systems are as smart as a 4-year-old, lack common sense So they have already reached human levels! Phouchg, IntegralDerivative and The Teej 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dot Matrix Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 When tech catches up to the capacity of a 16 year old, we're all frakked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phouchg Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Bah, I hate these comparisons. Human thinking and most AI systems (apart from specialized brain simulations) are nothing alike. I bet no 4 year old can calculate PI to million places in a second and then sort all the numbers in ten digit chunks in ascending and descending order simultaneously (or insert any actually useful maths or physics problem, none come to mind for me, because I'm not wired that way). How is that for smart? Now put together such classical computer with something that provides intellect and I'm happy to declare that the very first day AIs will reach the ability to reason and independently evolve, if they reach it, will be the final milestone of our ultimate demise. We'll have nothing to put against them - not creativity, nor emotion nor ability to adapt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
