DeepMind Co-Founder Says Turing Test is Outdated, Suggest Testing AI Chatbot By Transforming $100,000 into $1 Million

Co-founder of Google’s AI research group DeepMind argues that AI chatbots like ChatGPT should be tested in a “modern Turing test” to see how well they can transform $100,000 into $1 million.

It is determined via this test whether artificial intelligence is capable of thinking similarly to humans. Although artificial intelligence has improved greatly in recent years, assessing its potential and comparing it to human intellect remains difficult.

DeepMind, the world-renowned AI research center, has continually been at the forefront of developing AI capabilities. A group of experts, including one of the company’s co-founders, have now developed a fresh test to measure how clever AI chatbots compare to humans.

The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Greatest Dilemma of the Twenty-first Century is a new book by Mustafa Suleyman, formerly head of applied AI at DeepMind and currently CEO and co-founder of Inflection AI.

The standard Turing test is rejected by Suleyman in the book because it is “unclear whether this is a meaningful milestone or not,” according to a report from Bloomberg on Tuesday.

“It doesn’t tell us anything about what the system can do or understand, anything about whether it has established complex inner monologues or can engage in planning over abstract time horizons, which is key to human intelligence,” he added.

Alan Turing created the Turing test in the 1950s to determine whether a machine possessed intellect comparable to that of a person. Human judges apply the test to determine if they are conversing with a person or a machine. If the device can successfully pass as a person, the test is deemed successful.

Suleyman suggests evaluating AI’s intelligence using the idea of “artificial capable intelligence,” or ACI, which refers to the practice of assigning a bot brief objectives and tasks that it can do with little help from a human.

Suleyman claims that a new Turing test, in which AI bots must increase a $100,000 seed investment to a $1,000,000 total, must be passed for AI bots to achieve ACI. As part of the test, the bot will be needed to investigate possible e-commerce businesses, develop a product strategy, track down a manufacturer, and eventually sell the goods.

A unique test for determining how well chatbots powered by artificial intelligence relate to people has been created by the co-founders of DeepMind. The objective of this endeavor is to increase $100,000 to $1,000,000. By doing this, it can assess how flexible and smart the chatbot is in a business scenario.
