"Run don't look just run"
The ConceptNet 4 AI built at M.I.T was tested with a IQ test meant for preschool children. The AI answered the test averagely but inconsistently answered in several portions of the test.Robert Sloan, a professor and head of computer science at UIC and lead author of the study said, “If a child had scores that varied this much, it might be a symptom that something was wrong. While the AI system scored well in a vocabulary test and a similarity recognition test, its powers of reasoning were found wanting. “But ConceptNet 4 did dramatically worse than average on comprehension – the ‘why’ question" Sloan said. AIs in nature are very hard to develop because it lacks something that allows it to make sound,reasonable and logical judgments per situation in other words they lack common sense.Common sense is knowing something without necessarily having to know it. To a computer if water was boiling from a pot, It can measure the temperature of the water. To a human we would most likely say "I ain't touching that s***, It's boiling hot". “All of us know a huge number of things. As babies, we crawled around and yanked on things and learned that things fall. We yanked on other things and learned that dogs and cats don’t appreciate having their tails pulled.” Sloan said. He also added, “We’re still very far from programs with commonsense-AI that can answer comprehension questions with the skill of a child of 8,” I suppose we can forget the possibility of a robot uprising....for now. It's terrifying to think of a 6-ton machine gun-wielding entity of pure awesomeness walking down the street with Police shades wearing a leather jacket but still though It can also prove to be a great asset from caretakers to underwater divers. The possibilities are endless..One day we may even have AI-operated transport vehicles or even AIs that can hold a normal conversation we don't know when but soon maybe.
