Public asked to help create 'humanity's last exam' to spot when AI achieves peak intelligence

Wednesday 18 September 2024 12:00, UK



Scientists are creating "humanity's last exam" to test AI and see when it has reached expert-level intelligence.

People are being asked to submit their questions and create "the world's most difficult artificial intelligence test" by the Center for AI Safety (CAIS) and Scale AI.

"Existing tests now have become too easy and we can no longer track AI developments well, or how far they are from becoming expert-level," said the quiz creators in a statement about the test.

A few years ago, AI was giving almost random answers to questions on exams - that's no longer the case.

Last week, OpenAI's newest model, known as OpenAI o1, "destroyed the most popular reasoning benchmarks", according to Dan Hendrycks, executive director of CAIS.

AI models like ChatGPT think all nurses are women and senior doctors are men, study shows

That tends to be the trend, which is why that bias exists.

Funny thing is, that bias might actually ALWAYS exist. AI will replace the majority of such doctors before long, so I can't imagine any sort of equitability emerging before then.

Multi-agent swarms are going to be the spookiest of all AI developments you'll see in the coming months. For the first time, if you weren't already convinced, watching agent swarms carry out tasks will legitimately give you pause and make you wonder "are these AIs actually thinking after all?"

Would you consider that to be AGI?

If there are agents doing their own thing and working together as a cohesive unit. At least until mass opinion changes my mind I see that as AGI. Like moving out of AXI territory and into the start of the AGI wave. I imagine it would still take 2-6 years after that to be akin to a 100 IQ human in terms of productivity but if you draw a line in the sand for what is AGI it might be that.

Edit I guess it doesn't matter how it is defined it doesn't change how the AI is. I think we are approaching the beginning of the end game regardless.

One fewer way to tell humans apart from machines. How many of these tests will need to be passed before we agree machines have achieved intelligence?

It's interesting that France has taken the initiative on this. IMO it's a sign that the US is lagging on this

Bigger, stronger, smarter GR-2 humanoid also gets major hand upgrades
By Loz Blain
September 30, 2024

One of the more interesting and unique robots in the emerging humanoid space has received an unexpected upgrade. Shanghai's Fourier Intelligence has just launched the GR-2 – taller, heavier, smarter, more dextrous and much stronger than the GR-1.

It also looks a lot more ... finished than the first models we saw in July last year, which had a weirdly skeletal and spindly look to them, in total contrast to the meaty 300-Nm (221-lb-ft) hip actuators that made the GR-1 one of the heaviest-lifting androids on the market, capable of hoisting nearly its own 55-kg (121-lb) weight.

Not lifting with its hands, mind you – it didn't have any – but with a pair of purple plastic grab rails at its pelvic area. Fourier conceived the GR-series humanoids as home helpers for elderly and disabled patients, particularly in countries with rapidly aging populations and no guarantee that human workers will be around to help people get in and out of beds and wheelchairs. If the purple grab handles have a slight medical/rehab look to them, that's why.

Running counter to GitHub Copilot's own claims.

Developers were supposed to be among the biggest beneficiaries of the generative AI hype as special tools made churning out code faster and easier. But according to a recent study from Uplevel, a firm that analyzes coding metrics, the productivity gains aren't materializing – at least not yet.

The study tracked around 800 developers, comparing their output with and without GitHub's Copilot coding assistant over three-month periods. Surprisingly, when measuring key metrics like pull request cycle time and throughput, Uplevel found no meaningful improvements for those using Copilot.

People are tiring.

It's simply impossible to suggest that they use GPT to say, summarize an article or infographic without them screaming about "slop."

Frankly they're getting so ridiculous they're abusing words left and right.
