AI Software: Standard tests for children to make progress measurable – Heise Newsticker



Computers dominate impressive calculations and analyzes, but really intelligent they seem rare. In future could their progress in this area with tests are recognized for children.

Oren Etzioni, director of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Seattle, is committed to ensuring that advances in artificial intelligence future reference be measured by standard tests for school children, Technology Review reported in the article “Computer against fourth graders”.

“In this way we can make our progress in AI and natural language on an objective basis make “, explains the researcher. In October his institute to start a competition in which software is to answer science questions for eighth-graders.

Ultimately, it involves giving, to give machines a little common sense, so that they are more versatile. This is a major challenge in the field of artificial intelligence – and it could mean that computers are useful on many new species. “If we want to build systems that are robust and enable people to naturally work together, they are these skills need,” says Etzioni.

However, do not keep all the experts tests designed for people asking for the best choice , Ernest Davis, a professor at New York University, although sharing Etzioni believes that a method for measuring the sense of machines could advance research. But school tests were it not optimal: Even children were very much better than machines is to understand the world, so that developed for her tests were not designed to capture the most important advances in intelligent software
