IQ test of artificial program shows it lacking in common sense
CHICAGO, July 16 () -- U.S. researchers say an IQ test of one of the best available artificial intelligence systems found it's about as smart as the average 4-year-old.A team at the University of Illinois at Chicago said it put ConceptNet 4,[url=http://www.tymarc.com/]christian louboutin sale[/url], an artificial intelligence system developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,[url=http://www.ewwealth.com/]louboutin sale[/url], through the verbal portions of the Weschsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence Test, a standard IQ assessment for young children.ConceptNet 4 has the average IQ of a 4-year-old although the machine's scores were very uneven across different portions of the test, unlike those of the typical child, a university release said Tuesday."If a child had scores that varied this much, it might be a symptom that something was wrong," UIC computer scientists Robert Sloan said.While ConceptNet 4 did very well on a test of vocabulary and on a test of its ability to recognize similarities, Sloan said, it performed "dramatically worse than average on comprehension -- the 'why' questions."Computer programs frequently have problems making sound and prudent judgments based on a simple perception of the situation or facts, he said -- the dictionary definition of common sense.Common sense has proved difficult for artificial intelligence designers because it requires both a very large collection of facts and what Sloan termed implicit facts -- things so obvious that we don't know we know them."We're still very far from programs with common sense -- AI that can answer comprehension questions with the skill of a child of 8," he said.
