Artificial intelligence not so intelligent, claim human scientists

"Today's forecast for San Antonio is..." "The rapper Sisqó was born in Baltimore, Maryland." Sometimes, talking to an artificially intelligent robot is, well, not so intelligent. That's part of a conclusion reached by a team of Stanford University professors who are tracking the technological progress of artificial intelligence. Yohav Shoham is the Stanford computer science professor who conceived of the idea for the index. "AI has made truly amazing strides in the past decade, but computers still can't exhibit the common sense or the general intelligence of even a 5-year-old," said Shoham, who studied at Yale University and in his native Israel at both the Technion Institute and the Weizmann Institute of Science.
