A computer that scores 150+ in IQ tests

Genius Swedish computer program has IQ of 150

I, for one, welcome our new artifical overloards.

But, seriously, even though everyone look at AI in a "make computers more human" way, I found this sentence (from the article above, talking about the applications of the rsearch) especially interesting...

"... may also yield programs whose purpose is to train people to include non-human approaches to problem solving, with the purpose of more effectively interacting with a Universe which is not strongly biased toward human thought patterns."

    And.. what about wisdom?

    You know what the average IQ score of a computer is? ****ZERO****! If this computer could read, and parse the question, they would have it on the talk show circuit! THAT is note worthy, and apparently has NEVER really been done. But to them take that and faced with an image that may, for a human a first glance, appear to be giberish, and add THAT to the parsed information of the question, is another thing. I guarantee that hasn't been done. Then to solve the question, which may even have several possible answers?

    I DOUBT IT! Of course, if you ask it to do a stupid task, like determine what letters might spell, or 15^5, numerical sequences, etc... it is totally unfair, and 150 would be a LOW score, considering.

    I think it is all hype!

    yeah computers are just advanced calculators, not even that, all they see is 1's and 0's...if this computer scored high on an IQ test it's because humans wrote algs to game the system. Really isn't impressive to be honest, the day we have strong AI though(AI equal to or greater than human intelligence) then that'll be interesting. Because the idea is they can develop things much faster and much more complete than us(since they don't have to sleep and or don't forget things, not mention they don't have to worry about starting over and having to relearn over the years)

    Computers can't have IQ because they are simply filled with human-programmed information. However ... if a computer DID have an IQ of only 150, I would fire the programmers and hire smarter ones!

      Computers COULD have an IQ. They simply DON'T because nobody has taken the time to REALLY program such a thing. The type of power I figured a commercial machine would require is only NOW getting here. Of course, I have NO idea how much the human mind can do, so it was more like "Really impossible UP TO this point". I never dared to try to figure how much would be required to do it.

      But WHAT programmer is smart enough to do it, and has the time and money to do it, but is dumb enough to try? Imagine! No more programmers! NO minimum wage jobs. NO designing jobs, etc.... etc.... and someone would be tempted to give it access to the internet, and it MIGHT be like skynet. What motivates "human" dictators? Ever see irobot? In the end you are left realizing "MY GOD, that IS logical, given the criteria!"!

        Hey, Steve:

        Personally, I am not convinced that computers will ever be capable of true "artificial intelligence" because they are just machines programmed to do things ... no matter how "smart" they may appear to be based on human intelligence standards.

        However, I DO agree with the risk of programming a machine with enough ability to control critical systems similar to the way the fictional "Skynet" system did.

        LOL, even now, my wimpy little laptop sometimes shuts me out or slows me down, and only because it "thinks" it is doing the right thing! lol

          Who knows? At the lowest level, computers can only do things like move values around, shift right or left, add and subtract real small INTEGER numbers, and access some of those abilities to create an address. Of course, some of the mid generation CPUs effectively had extra electronics to build on the simpler functions by doing the same sort of thing. Apparetly a lot of them today simply LOOK more complex, and have a kind of translation step.

          In the apple II, the base processor only worked with numbers up to 255. 155+155=54! NEAT HUH! The IDEA is that you check the carry flag, and set the next byte to 1 which means (1*256)+54=310 . Still, a friend of mine wrote a program to figure out PI to the last possible place that could fit in the machine!

          Even PEOPLE don't do anything really fantastic on a day to day basis. A lot of communications is based on HABIT. If someone asked you to jump off a cliff, you might use the height and terrain, and experience you have had and seen with others, to see if you would consider it, and then ask how much. The money decision would be based on the previous assessment of danger, what you know you need, what they are willing to pay, etc... So actions may be like 5% processing and 95% data.

          Ever see those 20 questions games? REAL AI will be similar to that. I could see it happening, but hope t doesn't while I am alive. If it is fed garbage, or somehow gets the ability to have creativity, then it could get NASTY!

      Yes, it re-posted my thread in an attempt to discredit me for disclosing information about it.
