Karpathy's High Bar For AGI Timelines
- Andre Karpathy argues AGI should mean human-level performance on any economically valuable task.
- He places AGI a decade away given that high bar.
Different AGI Definitions Emphasize Different Abilities
- Multiple AGI definitions coexist, from capability-focused to learning-focused.
- The ARC prize emphasizes efficient acquisition of new skills outside training data.
Quantifying AGI With Ten Cognitive Domains
- The Center for AI Safety defines AGI as matching a well-educated adult across ten cognitive domains.
- This quantifiable framework turns AGI into a measurable spectrum rather than a vague buzzword.
