Scientists often talk about creating artificial intelligence, but how "intelligent" are these systems really?
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago came up with an answer after giving one of the top artificial intelligence (AI) systems an IQ test.
The system, ConceptNet 4, was built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was determined to be about as smart as the average 4-year-old. (The software has been updated since the study began, and the current version is ConceptNet 5.)
"We're still very far from programs with common sense and AI that can answer comprehension questions with the skill of a child of 8," said Robert Sloan, head of computer science at the university.
