By Katja Grace, 7 February 2015 Often, when people are asked ‘when will human-level AI arrive?’ they suggest that it is a meaningless or misleading term. I think they have a point. Or several, though probably not as many as they think they have. One problem is that if the skills of an AI are developing independently at different rates, then at the point that an AI eventually has the full kit of human skills, they also have a bunch of skills that are way past human-level. For instance, if a ‘human-level’ AI were developed now, it would be much better than human-level at arithmetic.
