The AI revolution may seem like a fadinfinybet, but it will eventually lead to the creation of an AI that’s smarter than humans. Tech firms like OpenAI call it “Artificial General Intelligence” or AGI.
Bloomberg says its unnamed sources shared the AI firm’s five-step plan to develop AGI. Based on these steps, it seems the world is nearing step two.

— Hemant Mohapatra (@MohapatraHemant) July 12, 2024Artificial general intelligence is advanced enough to replicate human behavior and mental capacities and surpass people in every task. Bloomberg’s sources say the ChatGPT creator will develop AGI by creating increasingly more sophisticated AI bots:
Chatbots (Level 1): AI with natural conversation language abilities Reasoners (Level 2): AIs with human levels of problem-solving across a broad range of topics Agents (Level 3): AI systems that can take actions independently or from human instruction. Innovators (Level 4): AI that can aid in the invention of new ideas and contribute to human knowledge. Organizations (Level 5): AI that is capable of doing all of the work of an organization independentlyTom’s Guide shared more details regarding each step. Chatbots refer to ChatGPT and similar tools that can manage multi-threaded conversations, store memory, and perform limited reasoning.

OpenAI hasn’t confirmed these AGI steps at the time of writing. However, CEO Sam Altman believes humanity will develop artificial general intelligence in this decade.
