ABSTRACT

The Boswell Test, designed to measure AI model indispensability, comprises Test-A, assessing deep insight into a host’s nuances, and Test-B, evaluating critical thinking and reasoning. While Test-A remains beyond current AI capabilities, Test-B is implementable today. This paper details the Boswell Quotient, a novel metric methodology for Test-B, and explores avenues for its further refinement.
