How far has artificial intelligence (AI) technology gone? Having asked this question, specialists from the University of Illinois at Chicago (USA) tested one of the most advanced electronic intelligence systems - the ConceptNet 4 complex, developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
To test the "intelligence" of ConceptNet 4, the system was subjected to the Wechsler Test of Intelligence in children between four and six and a half years old. True, only the verbal part of the program was used, which included tasks for the study of general awareness, comprehensibility, concentration of attention, ease of handling numerical material, the ability to form concepts, classification, ordering, abstraction, comparison. In addition, comprehension and ability to identify the content of words were assessed.
As it turned out, the intelligence quotient (IQ) of a machine is comparable to the developmental level of a four-year-old child. The computer copes well with vocabulary tests and tasks for determining similarities. But there are problems with more complex checks, requiring meaningful understanding and answering the “why” questions.
Robert Sloan, a professor at the University of Illinois and author of the study, points out that ConceptNet 4 results are highly uneven across different task groups. If we were talking about a child, it would be a signal of developmental delay and health problems.
The main challenge AI systems face is their lack of common sense, explains Sloan. For a person who is constantly in contact with the world around him, many things are so obvious that one does not even have to think about them. Yes, a computer can know about the freezing point of water, but, unlike us, it does not understand what ice feels like.
In other words, AI development is still very far from humans, since they simply cannot plunge into a real life environment, which, in fact, is a multifaceted learning environment. Therefore, the electronic mind cannot compete even with children of 6-8 years old, not to mention adults.
The research results will be presented on July 17 at the Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Bellevue (Washington, USA).

The Seeds Of Powerful Artificial Intelligence Are Already Scattered Around The Planet
You don't have a flying car, jetpack or ray gun, but you still think that they will definitely appear in the future. Why? Because we are surrounded by artificial intelligence. It's funny when people ask when we will have smart computers, because they already have them in their hands. Phone calls are made by artificial intelligence. Whenever you write something into the search bar, you are using data that is collected by clever algorithms. Our world is full of these limited IP programs
Billionaire Inventor Elon Musk Fears Artificial Intelligence
If robots take over our planet one day, then Elon Musk will probably say: "I told you so!" It turned out that the genius billionaire inventor who loves to make the impossible come true is seriously worried about research in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Musk tweeted last week: “We need to be very careful with artificial intelligence. It is potentially much more dangerous than nuclear warheads. " Spus
Ten Important But Daunting Advances In Artificial Intelligence
Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk all have something in common, and it's not wealth or intelligence. All of them are afraid of the apocalypse involving AI (artificial intelligence). This is a hypothetical scenario in which artificial intelligence becomes the dominant form of life on Earth. It could be the uprising of machines that think they are gods or, even worse, decide to destroy humanity and claim the Earth as their own. But whether the apocalypse will happen to AI is a big question. What prompts
We Need To Think Now How To Secure Artificial Intelligence
Stephen Hawking continues the "crusade" against artificial intelligence (AI). During the highly anticipated Ask Me Everything on Reddit campaign, he wrote that work on developing an AI security protocol should be done now, not in the distant future. “Our goal should not be to create abstract artificial intelligence, but to create useful intelligence,” wrote the famous physicist, “it will take decades to figure out how to do this, so yes
Artificial Intelligence: How Smart Do We Need Machines?
Artificial intelligence has already become a fact in some financial and transportation segments, and as it spreads in other areas, we increasingly want to make sure that we control it, and not vice versa. From 2001 A Space Odyssey to Blade Runner, Robocop to The Matrix, when humans deal with artificial intelligence, they inevitably face the dark fantasy of filmmakers.
