I like the gist of it ... though just did quick skim of the paper. In particular I like the idea of pushing/orienting AGI systems toward NLU and human standards to promote "usability" (or more properly: our ability to mutually relate).
As AGI testing and validation goes, some might recall in my IVI Architecture posted here about a year ago, I specified testing to proceed from Mental Status Tests (basic orientation, attention, memory, etc. tests like a human neurologist would administer) -> Personality Tests (to detect any severe psychoses, in interest of FAI :-)) -> IQ Tests (here's where WAIS, and others would come into play). The latter, I agree, is largely the crux of what is meant by Intelligence. But there is a lot of cognitive framework that needs to be in place first. After standard IQ tests, one would start testing in particular narrower domains of interest to the AGI's application at hand, e.g., AP Chemistry, Astrophysics, Auto Mechanics, Symphonic Composition, or whatever.

Also, I don't think that intelligence tests, as currently formulated for psychometric testing purposes, form a very natural set of "developmental milestones" for an AGI system. I think it would be possible to create a narrow AI system that passed a lot of IQ tests but still lacked general intelligence -- just as one can create narrow AI systems to play chess, checkers, and so forth. Psychometric tests are only moderately meaningful in the human-intelligence context for which they were devised; applying them beyond the human domain weakens their meaning even further... I don't think it's a boundlessly dumb approach or anything; but it's not an approach I would particularly recommend... -- Ben -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Shane Sent: Friday, September 17, 2004 10:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [agi] Psychometric AI Hi Ben, You think it's a silly approach because...?
