Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers at 132 institutions, including Google, have proposed an update to the Turing test for rating the capabilities of AI technology.

The researchers suggested using the Beyond the Imitation Game benchmark (BIG-bench), comprised of 204 diverse tasks designed not to be fully solved by state-of-the-art AI models.

The researchers observed that AI models performed poorly on most of the tasks compared with humans, although they showed improvement as computing power increased.

Adrian Hilton of the U.K.'s University of Surrey said, "I can see that setting up a set of benchmarks is one way of comparing one machine-learning algorithm with another, one AI with another. But I don't think that necessarily answers the question of intelligence though."
