Only 16% of adults in the United States got a passing grade in a survey created by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence.
Here are the 5 most interesting questions.
Would you get them right?

AI can translate sentences into another language at the level of a human translator.
AI technology can analyze chest X-Rays with equal or better accuracy than a resident-level radiologist.
AI can understand cause and effect (e.g., if I heat water on the stove, then it will boil) at the level of an adult human.
AI can transcribe a conversation from audio into text at the level of an adult human.
AI technology is versatile and a single AI program can perform many tasks, such as auto-completing sentences, controlling robots, etc.

Here are the correct answers:
1. AI can translate sentences into another language at the level of a human translator.
Answer: False
AI translation has improved significantly, but human translation is still better.
2. AI technology can analyze chest X-Rays with equal or better accuracy than a resident-level radiologist.
Answer: True
AI is already rivaling, and performing better than radiologists in screening X-Rays for many diseases.
3. AI can understand cause and effect (e.g., if I heat water on the stove, then it will boil) at the level of an adult human.
Answer: False
This is a very challenging problem, and we are not close to solving it in a general way.
4. AI can transcribe a conversation from audio into text at the level of an adult human.
Answer: False
AI has gotten really good here, but there are still many problems understanding multiple speakers, discarding background noise, dealing with accents, etc.
5. AI technology is versatile and a single AI program can perform many tasks, such as auto-completing sentences, controlling robots, etc.
Answer: False
General Artificial Intelligence is the final frontier, the Promised Land.
We are not close yet.
