Position: Stop Evaluating AI with Human Tests, Develop Principled, AI-specific Tests instead
📰 ArXiv cs.AI
Learn why human tests are insufficient for evaluating AI and how to develop principled, AI-specific tests instead, to accurately assess AI capabilities
Action Steps
- Recognize the limitations of human psychological and educational tests for evaluating AI
- Develop theory-driven, AI-specific tests that account for AI's unique characteristics
- Design tests that evaluate AI's performance on tasks relevant to its intended application
- Implement and validate AI-specific tests using large language models (LLMs) as a case study
- Compare the results of AI-specific tests with human tests to identify differences and improvements
Who Needs to Know This
AI researchers and developers benefit from understanding the limitations of human tests for AI evaluation and learning to develop AI-specific tests to improve AI development and assessment
Key Insight
💡 Human tests are not suitable for evaluating AI, and principled, AI-specific tests are needed to accurately assess AI capabilities

Title: Position: Stop Evaluating AI with Human Tests, Develop Principled, AI-specific Tests instead
Abstract:
arXiv:2507.23009v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable results on a range of standardized tests originally designed to assess human cognitive and psychological traits, such as intelligence and personality. While these results are often interpreted as strong evidence of human-like characteristics in LLMs, this paper argues that such interpretations constitute an ontological error. Human psychological and educational tests are theory-driven
