5 Levels in AI by OpenAI: A Roadmap to Human-Level Problem Solving Capabilities.
OpenAI has recently introduced a five-level classification system to track its progress towards developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can surpass human performance. This framework aims to clarify the company’s goal for AI safety and future improvements.
