Google's AI is much smarter than Siri according to Researchers

Google's AI is much smarter than Apple Inc.’s virtual assistant Siri, according to a new study. Many people have said that Siri just isn’t as smart as Google Assistant and now they have scientific evidence. Well, sort of. 

Researchers Feng Liu, Yong Shi and Yin Liu carried out tests throughout 2016, which ranked Google’s AI IQ at 47.28; Siri’s IQ fell well below at 23.9, which was also lower than Microsoft Corp.’s Bing and Baidu, at 31.98 and 32.92, respectively. For comparison’s sake, the average 18-year-old has an IQ of 97, according to the researchers.

The study is still in progress, the results so far indicate that the AI systems produced by Google, Baidu, and others have significantly improved over the past two years but still have certain gaps as compared with even a six-year-old child," the researchers wrote in a paper published on ArXiv.

The report also states that that all of the systems they tested are getting smarter - each scored higher than they did on similar tests conducted two years ago. The researchers point out that their aim in creating a system for rating artificial intelligence is not to downplay their smarts, but instead to highlight achievements to date.
