Deepmind founder proposes a new kind of Turing test: making money online
AI expert Mustafa Suleyman, founder of Deepmind and Inflection.ai, argues in his forthcoming book that the Turing Test is outdated. Instead, he proposes a new benchmark focused on "artificial capable intelligence" (ACI), which measures an AI's ability to perform complex tasks independently. His test is to task an AI with generating a $1 million profit from a $100,000 investment through e-commerce. He predicts that within two years, AI will create and sell products autonomously, with significant economic implications.
