Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, commented on the rapid improvement in AI intelligence, suggesting an annual equivalent of a one standard deviation increase in IQ. Although some have used IQ as a benchmark for AI progress, experts argue that it is an inappropriate measure. Sandra Wachter highlights that equating IQ with AI capabilities misrepresents the complexity of intelligence. IQ tests primarily evaluate human logic and reasoning but fail to account for practical intelligence and myriad other cognitive aspects.
"Very roughly, it feels to me like - this is not scientifically accurate, this is just a vibe or spiritual answer - every year we move one standard deviation of IQ."
"IQ is a tool to measure human capabilities - a contested one no less - based on what scientists believe human intelligence looks like."
