Rebroadcast of Ep7 "Is AI truly intelligent? How would we know if it got there?"

David is taking his birthday week off and wanted to re-share this episode due to it's ongoing relevance.

Modern AI is blowing everyone’s mind. But is it intelligent like humans, or is it just playing impressive statistical games? Could AI reach or exceed our level of intelligence, and how would we know when it gets there? Traditional tests for intelligence (Turing test, Lovelace test, etc) have long been surpassed, so Eagleman proposes a new kind of test.
