OpenAI’s 5 Steps to AGI

OpenAI has introduced a five-level classification system to gauge its progress towards achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), which is AI able to outperforming humans. Currently at Level 1, OpenAI’s AI can engage in conversational interactions.

The corporate is nearing Level 2, dubbed “Reasoners,” where AI systems can solve problems akin to a human with a doctorate. Level 3, “Agents,” represents AI able to operating on behalf of users for several days, while Level 4 involves AI innovating latest solutions. The top, Level 5, “Organizations,” envisions AI performing the tasks of a complete organization.

This framework, still subject to vary based on feedback, reflects OpenAI’s roadmap towards AGI. CEO Sam Altman and CTO Mira Murati anticipate AGI inside a decade, aligning with industry leaders like Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and Elon Musk, who foresee AGI’s arrival inside five years, potentially outpacing human intelligence by 2026.
