How Smart is a Robot?

There is no complete agreement on how to measure the IQ of a person. It is even more difficult to measure the smarts of a robot.

PhD student Shane Legg and advisor Marcus Hutter at Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Switzerland, are taking a shot at it. They have drafted a test of AI systems to rate their systems intelligence even across a broad range of range of functions.

According to New Scientist, a big problem will be getting AI scientists to agree on the complexity of the AI's environment.
