OpenAI develops new artificial intelligence scale

OpenAI has developed a new scale to measure how far AI models are on their way to achieving human-like intelligence. This scale aims to evaluate the development of models at five levels and aims to better monitor the process of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). However, this scale brings with it some concerns.

How does OpenAI’s new AI scale work?

This new scale developed by OpenAI measures the progress of artificial intelligence in five levels. While existing language models such as ChatGPT are at the first level, there is an artificial intelligence with problem solving ability equivalent to human intelligence at the second level. At the third level, an artificial intelligence that can perform tasks without user intervention is aimed. The fourth level means an artificial intelligence that can generate new ideas and concepts. At the fifth and final level, an artificial intelligence that can undertake the tasks of entire organizations, not individuals, is envisaged.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that they are on the verge of reaching the second level of artificial intelligence scale and said that they can achieve this level with GPT-5. However, this progress also raises ethical and security questions.

Security and ethical issues

The goal of achieving AGI raises not only technical but also ethical and safety issues. OpenAI’s disbandment of its security team and the departure of some senior researchers raise concerns on this issue. In May, high-level researchers left their positions on the grounds that the company’s security culture was being ignored.

Reaching these levels of artificial intelligence could have major impacts on society. Therefore, this new scale developed by OpenAI has to take into account not only technical progress, but also ethical and security standards.

This newly developed scale by OpenAI is an important step in monitoring and evaluating the progress of artificial intelligence. However, this progress must be approached carefully with the ethical and security questions it raises. Developments in “OpenAI artificial intelligence” are of great importance both technically and socially.
