According to Bloomberg, Mustafa Suleyman, the co-founder of DeepMind, Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory, proposed a new test of artificial intelligence in his new book. Is there a method with human-level intelligence. He argues that the traditional Turing test doesn’t really reflect the capabilities of artificial intelligence, nor does it tell whether they have complex internal dialogue or the ability to plan on abstract timescales, which are key features of human intelligence.
The Turing test is a method proposed by Alan Turing in the 1950s to test whether a robot has human-level intelligence. In the test, human evaluators judged whether they were talking to a human or a machine. If the machine can impersonate a human, it passes the test.
Mustafa Suleiman did not compare the intelligence of artificial intelligence with humans but believed that they should be given some short-term goals and tasks, so that they should rely as little as possible on human input to complete some specific tasks. He calls this process “artificial capable intelligence” (ACI), and in order to achieve ACI, Suleiman says, an AI robot should pass a new Turing test that it gets $100,000 in seed investment, which must be turned into $1 million. As part of the test, the bot had to research an e-commerce business idea, create a product plan, find a manufacturer, and sell the product. He expects AI to reach this milestone within the next two years.
“We care not only what a machine can say, but also what it can do,” Suleiman writes.
OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022, an AI-powered chatbot capable of conducting conversations, generating code, and writing essays. ChatGPT has sparked a boom in the generative artificial intelligence industry, and a recent McKinsey report found that this technology could even add $4.4 trillion to the global economy each year.
