Thompson<br>Sat, Sep 28, 2024 By Financial Sense<br><br>OpenAI's newest AI model, o1, released on September 12, 2024, has shattered expectations and redefined the landscape of artificial intelligence. Its unprecedented performance on benchmark tests, surpassing PhD-level experts across nearly every domain, has sent ripples through the tech world and beyond.<br><br>The advent of o1 has forced experts like Dr. Thompson to reassess their understanding of intelligence. He admits, "I need to re-evaluate my life's work. The performance of these models can't be overstated. They can't be overhyped."<br><br>Perhaps most strikingly, o1's capabilities have surpassed our ability to test it. Dr. Thompson explains, "We're now at the stage it has to be designed by a peak human being... We don't actually have people smart enough to design test questions now that we have models like o1."<br><br><div>Dr. Thompson posits that o1 represents a significant step toward
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—a level of AI that can perform any
intellectual task that a human being can. "With o1, we're in the
proto-AGI phase,” he stated, acknowledging that while o1 has not yet
achieved full AGI, it embodies many foundational aspects. The model’s
ability to reason, adapt, and exhibit forms of self-awareness aligns
closely with the characteristics expected of AGI.</div><div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)" class="gmail_default">------------------------</div><br></div></div>
