OpenAI unveils' Five-Tier' system to gauge AI progress towards human surpassing abilities: How it works
tiers range from the current conversational AI (Level 1) to advanced AI that can operate an entire organization (Level 5). OpenAI, widely regarded as a frontrunner in the quest for more powerful AI systems, plans to share these levels with investors and other external stakeholders.Currently, OpenAI considers itself at the first level, but nearing the second, known as “Reasoners." This stage refers to AI systems capable of basic problem-solving tasks comparable to a human with a doctorate, but without access to additional tools.During the same meeting, OpenAI's leadership showcased a research project involving its GPT-4 model, demonstrating new capabilities that exhibit human-like reasoning.
As per Bloomberg, an insider who requested anonymity, mentioned that OpenAI continually tests new functionalities internally, a standard practice in the AI industry.OpenAI has long aimed to create artificial general intelligence (AGI), which entails developing computers that outperform humans on most tasks. Although AGI does not currently exist, CEO Sam Altman has expressed optimism that it could be achieved within this decade.
The criteria for reaching AGI have been a topic of debate among AI researchers.In November 2023, researchers at Google DeepMind proposed a five-level framework for AI, including stages such as “expert" and “superhuman," akin to the system used in the automotive industry for self-driving cars. OpenAI’s newly introduced levels also feature five ascending stages towards AGI.
The third level, “Agents," refers to AI systems capable of performing tasks over several days on behalf of users. The fourth level involves AI that can generate new innovations, and the highest level, “Organizations," signifies AI that can
