Researchers at the University of Illinois have been putting some of the world 's most powerful AI machines through a standard IQ test given to humans and the results show that the machines are catching up with human performance . The researchers used a verbal IQ test designed for humans to test ConceptNet 4 , an AI machine developed by MIT . The results show that the machine comes close to matching the common cognitive reasoning of a four - year old and that by 2018 , improvements in AI technology are likely to dramatically improve the machine 's results .
Researchers at the University of Illinois have been putting some of the world's most powerful AI machines through a standard IQ test given to humans and the results show that the machines are catching up with human performance. The team used a verbal IQ test designed for children to test ConceptNet 4, an AI machine designed by MIT. The results show that the machine comes close to matching the common sense reasoning of a four-year old and that by 2018, improvements in AI technology are likely to dramatically increase the machine's results.
