Testing AI Chatbot’s Human-like Intelligence: Turning $100,000 into $1 Million, DeepMind Co-Founder Suggests

Chatbots like ChatGPT should be tested on their ability to turn a $100,000 investment into $1 million in a modern Turing test that measures human-like intelligence, according to Mustafa Suleyman, formerly head of applied AI at DeepMind and CEO and co-founder of Inflection AI. Suleyman’s proposal falls outside the traditional Turing test because it doesn’t tell us anything about what the system can do or understand or whether it has established complex inner monologues, he said. Instead, Suleyman suggests artificial capable intelligence, or ACI, which would involve AI bots completing short-term goals with minimal human input. To achieve ACI, Suleyman proposes a bot be given $100,000 and tasked with researching an e-commerce business idea, creating a plan for the product, finding a manufacturer and then selling the item. He expects AI to achieve this milestone within two years. OpenAI’s ChatGPT, released in November 2022, already holds casual conversations, generates code and writes essays.
