How close is AI to human-level intelligence?
Posted: 5th Dec 2024
OpenAI’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) system dropped in September with a bold promise. The company behind the chatbot ChatGPT showcased o1 — its latest suite of large language models (LLMs) — as having a “new level of AI capability”. OpenAI, which is based in San Francisco, California, claims that o1 works in a way that is closer to how a person thinks than do previous LLMs.
The release poured fresh fuel on a debate that’s been simmering for decades: just how long will it be until a machine is capable of the whole range of cognitive tasks that human brains can handle, including generalizing from one task to another, abstract reasoning, planning and choosing which aspects of the world to investigate and learn from?
