Chinese researchers have created an IQ test for AI

Human intelligence is hard enough to measure, and over the decades today's ubiquitous Intelligence Quotient, or "IQ," test, the standard by which we are all judged, has caused ferocious controversy. But today we have a new, potentially even thornier dilemma – how we assess the intelligence of today's and tomorrow's increasingly capable Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents, and perhaps, one day, even the Avatars and robots that they'll inhabit. While there are those who argue we shouldn't even bother trying to measure AI's IQ, whether it's because AI is seen as an "rapidly evolving alien, artificial and synthetic" form of intelligence by nature that is "dramatically different to human intelligence," or because today there are already so many different variants and variations of AI it makes "one standard to rule them all" almost impossible to define, being able to measure things seems deeply engrained into human behaviour. Therefore, it's obviously inevitable that at some point we will find ourselves adopting a new standard, an IQ test for AI that "once and for all" can tell us if we are in fact dumber than the 10,000 IQ chip in our trainers which is slated by Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son, who now owns ARM, to arrive by 2047. Over the decades there have been a number of attempts by companies, such as Facebook who recently wrote a white paper on how to "Evaluate the intelligence of AI," and individuals, such as Alan Turning with his Turing Test, to create an standards based test but in the main very few of them have been hailed as credible.
