Part 4/6:
OpenAI has outlined a framework of five levels of AGI, with the current systems operating at level two (reasoning and problem-solving) and the potential for level three (agent-level capabilities) and beyond. The interview highlights the rapid progress being made, with examples such as the use of GPT-4 to design a functional airfoil and create a new encryption algorithm that stumped experienced cryptographers.
These advancements suggest that we may be closer to the "innovator" level four systems, where AI can drive innovation and scientific discovery, than many had anticipated. The potential impact of such systems on fields like scientific research, natural disaster prediction, and cybersecurity is both exciting and unsettling.
