Re:Measuring the Progress of AI Research by joe_the_user on Monday July 03, 2017 @01:59AM (#14686131)
This seems like a compendium of metrics for processes which AI is a making progress on now. Doing something like that seems like a fine idea - I can't judge the quality of these metrics but it's hard to be excited by this.

However, what I think would be interesting would be for researchers to make a compendium of "human abilities", classifying and quantifying them as well as possible. One could then analyze the progress which AI could make towards emulating those capacities.

Obviously, this would be a rather crude measure but it at least could give some idea of AI's toward new capacities.
