Intelligent Machines: AI had IQ of four-year-old child - BBC News

An artificial intelligence system (AI) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has taken an IQ test designed for a young child. The results, written up by MIT Review, revealed that its IQ was equivalent to that of a four-year-old. Increasingly machines are getting better at specific tasks such as playing chess, recognising pictures and making complex commutations. But general intelligence is still proving elusive for most of them. The MIT machine - dubbed ConceptNet4 - was put through its paces by researchers from the University of Illinois, led by Stellan Ohlsson.
