Zach Stein-Perlman, author of a thought-provoking post on measuring AI task performance, discusses a groundbreaking metric for evaluating AI capabilities based on the length of tasks they can complete. He reveals that AI’s ability to tackle complex tasks has been doubling approximately every seven months for the last six years. The conversation highlights the implications of this rapid progress, the challenges AI still faces with longer tasks, and the urgency of preparing for a future where AI could autonomously handle significant work typically done by humans.
