According to recent reports from Bloomberg, OpenAI, the maker behind ChatGPT, has introduced a new 5-tier system to rank its progress toward achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This system is aimed to provide a framework for understanding AI capabilities as the company strives to develop models with genuine reasoning abilities.
During an all-hands meeting, OpenAI unveiled their current standing at level 1 on the scale, with hopes of advancing to the second level known as Reasoners soon. The company has also showcased some groundbreaking research centered around their GPT-4 model, demonstrating notable advancements in reaching human-level reasoning skills.
The tier system was crafted by OpenAI’s senior leadership team, with plans to refine the definitions based on feedback from employees and investors. This move comes as OpenAI continues its mission to create safe and beneficial artificial general intelligence for the betterment of humanity.
However, there have been speculations about the company’s ability to meet its mission statement following the restructuring that led to the dissolution of the Superalignment group earlier this year. This shift occurred after the departure of Chief Scientist and co-founder Ilya Sutskever, raising questions about the company’s future trajectory.
As OpenAI forges ahead on its quest for AI advancements, the unveiling of the tier system marks a significant step towards realizing their vision for artificial intelligence.
