Happy Friday! Ive been covering AI as a daily beat for two and a half years now, but recently Ive been feeling like we are living in a kind of Bizarro World, the fictional planet in DC Comics (also made famous in Seinfeld) where everything is oppositebeauty is hated, ugliness is prized, goodbye is helloleading to distorted societal norms, moral values, and logical reasoning. In AIs Bizarro World, a company like OpenAI can blithely tell employees about creating a five-point checklist to track progress toward building artificial general intelligence (AGI), or AI that is capable of outperforming humans, as Bloomberg reported yesterdayin a bid towards developing AGI that benefits all of humanity Continue reading →

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more popular, some people are starting to dream big, literally. They are considering the concept of Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI as its more commonly known, feasible Continue reading →

OpenAI has developed an internal scale for charting the progress of its large language models moving toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), according to a report from Bloomberg. Continue reading →

OpenAI is a leader in the race to develop AI as intelligent as a human. Yet, employees continue to show up in the press and on podcasts to voice their grave concerns about safety at the $80 billion nonprofit research lab. The latest comes from The Washington Post, where an anonymous source claimed OpenAI rushed through safety tests and celebrated their product before ensuring its safety. Continue reading →

OpenAIs newly introduced internal scale aims to evaluate its AI systems progress and capabilities systematically: Engages in simple conversational tasks, similar to current chatbots like ChatGPT Takes actions on behalf of users, demonstrating practical utility Creates novel solutions and innovations, exhibiting creativity and adaptability AGI Performs tasks equivalent to entire organizations, surpassing human-level performance across various tasks This scale, ranging from Level 1 to Level 5, seeks to track the progression towards achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) the holy grail of AI development where machines exhibit human-like cognitive abilities. Heres a detailed breakdown of how each level is defined and the criteria used to assess the power of AI systems: AI systems at this level can engage in simple conversational tasks, akin to current chatbots like ChatGPT. Assessment criteria: AI systems at this level are capable of solving basic problems at the level of a person with a PhD Continue reading →

Thats a quote from Leopold Aschenbrenner, a San Francisco-based AI researcher in his mid 20s who was recently fired from OpenAI and who, according to his own website, recently founded an investment firm focused on artificial general intelligence. Aschenbrenner, a former economics researcher at Oxford Universitys Global Priorities Institute, believes that artificial superintelligence is just around the corner and has written a 165-page essay explaining why.
