AI assistants don’t have the common sense to avoid talking gibberish
A new test could prove that when it comes to language, today’s best AI systems are fundamentally limited.   by Will Knight in Technology Review

Siri and Alexa are clearly far from perfect, but there is hope that steady progress in machine learning will turn them into articulate helpers before long. A new test, however, may help show that a fundamentally different approach is required for AI systems to actually master language.

Developed by researchers at the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2), a nonprofit based in Seattle, the Arc Reasoning Challenge (ARC) will pose elementary-school-level multiple-choice science questions. Each question will require some understanding of how the world works.  .... "
