Intelligence testing Who are you calling bird-brained? 智力测试 叫谁是笨蛋呢? An attempt is being made to devise a universal intelligence test 人类正尝试设计一种通用的智力测验 WHAT is the IQ of a chimpanzee? Or a worm? Or a game-show-winning computerprogram? Or even an alien from the planet Zaarg who can learn any human language in aday, can beat grandmasters ten at a time and can instantly factor the products of largeprime numbers? 黑猩猩、蠕虫或用于智力竞赛的计算机程序，甚至是来自Zaarg星球的外星人，它们的智商是多少呢? At the moment it is impossible to say. 当问到这类问题，没有人能回答出来。 IQ tests depend on language, and even Watson, a computer program that beat two humancontestants in a special edition of Jeopardy! on February 16th,does not have a perfect command of English. IQ测试依赖于语言，而且就算是Watson系统对英语也不是了如指掌。 In any case there is, at the moment, no meaningful scale on which non-human intelligencecan be compared with the human sort. 但不管怎么样，现在还没有一个有意义的标尺能用于任何非人类和人类智商的比较。 The most famous test for artificial intelligence is that devised by Alan Turing, a Britishcomputing pioneer. |
