748: The Five Levels of AGI

Artificial General Intelligence gets a new definition: This episode introduces Google DeepMind’s paper, “Levels of AGI: Operationalizing Progress on the Path to AGI”. Hear how its authors have organized narrow and general AI into hierarchical categories defined by human capability, from Level 0 (no AI) and Level 1 (equal to or somewhat better than an unskilled human) to Level 5 (able to outperform 100% of humans). A scary thought? Or a vision of a better future? Host Jon Krohn details the strengths of this research in this Five-Minute Friday.
