Are Siri and Cortana AI programs?
Siri and Cortana are AI to some extent. The usual label is "weak AI" (also called "narrow" or "soft" AI). It turns out the Wikipedia article on Weak AI explicitly refers ...

Problems that only humans will ever be able to solve
Informally, AI-complete problems are the most difficult problems for an AI. The concept is not mathematically defined yet, as e.g. NP-complete problems. However, intuitively, these are the problems ...

Can the IQ of an AI program be measured?
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: It depends on what IQ exactly is, and when the question is asked compared to ongoing development. The topic you're referring to is actually more commonly described as ...

Are there any AI that have passed the MIST test so far?
Yes, although how useful this AI can be is another question entirely.
mpgac is a "minimally intelligent AGI" trained on the GAC-80K corpus of MIST questions. As a result, it should be able to "...

Is the AI Effect caused by bad tests of intelligence?
I think it is mostly right. But not that intelligence is hard to define. In my opinion, it is simple: A is more intelligent than B if A achieves some purpose in less steps than B. It is functional/...

If IQ is used as a measure of intelligence in humans, could it also be used as a measure of intelligence in machines?
It depends on how the IQ test is presented:
If as for humans (effectively, as a video of the book containing the
test questions being opened etc), then all AI programs would score
zero.
If presented ...

Has the Lovelace Test 2.0 been successfully used in an academic setting?
No.

How can the emotional quotient of an AI program be measured?
The answer to your question is "In principle, yes" - in it's most general form, EQ testing is just a specific case of the Turing test ("How would you feel about ... ?").

Why is chess still a benchmark for Artificial Intelligence?
Chess isn't really a benchmark per say.
The method developed in AlphaGo to play Go should in principle generalize quite nicely to other games of this sort, such as chess. Since Stockfish is quite ...
