The AI that can tell how smart you REALLY are just by looking at a brain scan

A new AI could finally spell the end for the IQ test - and work out how smart you really are just by looking at a scan of your brain. Researchers from Caltech, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and the University of Salerno say their system can predict a person's intelligence from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans of their resting state brain activity. They say an individual's intelligence can be gleaned from patterns of activity in their brain when they're not doing or thinking anything in particular, without the need for quizzes, math problems of vocabulary tests. Caltech researchers say their AI can predict a person's intelligence from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans of their resting state brain activity After conducting the largest ever study of intelligence, researchers concluded that far from indicating how clever you are, IQ testing is actually rather'meaningless'. In a bid to investigate the value of IQ, scientists asked more than 100,000 participants to complete 12 tests that required planning, reasoning, memory and attention.
