Open AI, the brains behind Chat GPT, has revealed its own grading system to measure AI tools’s progress towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This scale ranges from level 1 to level 5. This new ranking system is like a roadmap, showing us where AI is headed and how close it is to reaching its full potential.
AI Rankings
Currently, AI Chatbots are ranked as a level 1. OpenAI believes it is reaching level 2 since it has many solid capabilities yet lacks problem-solving mastery. As you climb the levels, the AI gets smarter, reaching Level 5, which is like having an entire company’s worth of brainpower in one machine.
Level 2 consists of tools that can resolve problems like a human with a PhD. Level 3 includes AI systems that can make decisions and actions for the user. Level 4 includes AI tools that are creative and generate brand-new ideas. Lastly, level 5 consists of AI tools that can run a whole company.
Due to its high requirements, reaching AGI will probably be possible for AI tools in the next five years. Improving the current systems will require a lot of computer power and billions of dollars.
The Future of AI
While OpenAI’s AI scaling system offers a guideline and encourages competition within the industry, the road to AGI remains filled with challenges. The resources needed, paired with the recent safety team departure, highlight the critical need for a balanced approach. Just like any powerful technology, responsible development is what comes first. As AI evolves, finding the balance between innovation and safety will be the key to unlocking its full potential. We need to make sure AI is developed safely without rushing things. Finding the right balance between creating cool new tech and keeping everyone safe is vital.
