AI Classification Framework... The New Turing Test

As AI becomes a transformative part of our technology landscape, a common vocabulary about the capabilities of each new tool and technique is essential. Common vocabularies create shared intellectual spaces allowing all stakeholders to accelerate understanding, increase adoption, facilitate collaboration, benchmark progress and drive innovation.

So far, the most widely known tool for benchmarking AI is the Turing Test.

However, the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has come a long way since the inception of the Turing Test in 1950. As such, it is becoming increasingly clear that the Turing Test is insufficient for evaluating the full range of AI capabilities that are emerging today — or are likely to emerge in the future.

The Turing Test operates on a simplistic pass/fail basis and focuses heavily on chat/linguistic capability, which is only one aspect of human intelligence. This narrow focus on language ignores many other critical dimensions of intelligence, such as problem-solving, creativity and social awareness. Additionally, the Turing Test presupposes a level of human-like intelligence that may not be relevant or useful for evaluating AI.

The framework
To address these limitations, there is an urgent and critical need to develop a more nuanced and comprehensive framework for evaluating AI capabilities across multiple dimensions of intelligence.

This insight led me to develop the “AI Classification Framework.” The ACF is a new approach to evaluating AI capabilities based on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences.
