This is the impressive scale that OpenAI has created to measure the progress of AI

OpenAI has established an internal scale to measure the progress of its language models towards artificial general intelligence (AGI). According to a company spokesperson, as reported by Bloomberg, current chatbots, including their popular ChatGPT, would be at Level 1.

OpenAI claims to be approaching Level 2, which is defined as a system capable of solving basic problems at the level of a person with a doctorate. Level 3 would involve AI agents capable of taking actions on behalf of a user. Level 4 refers to an AI capable of creating innovations on its own. Finally, Level 5 represents AGI, an AI that can perform the work of entire organizations of people.

OpenAI defines AGI as “a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans in most economically valuable tasks”, and explains that the unique structure of the company is oriented towards this mission. The company has stated that if another project aligned with their values and safety-consciousness builds AGI before they do, they commit to not compete and to collaborate. Thanks to this scale, it could be clarified when AGI would be achieved, a still distant goal that will require multimillion-dollar investments in computing power.

Currently, it is not clear when generalized AI (AGI) will be achieved. In October 2023, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman suggested that “he is about five years away” to achieve it. This new timeline was presented just after OpenAI announced its collaboration with the Los Álamos National Laboratory to explore how advanced models such as GPT-4o can safely contribute to bioscientific research. A program director of Los Álamos pointed out that the objective is to test the capabilities of GPT-4o and establish security measures for the United States government.
