According to a company insider, OpenAI recently laid out its blueprint for AI evolution. Here’s what it looks like:
• Level 1: Chatbots: what we currently have.
• Level 2: Reasoners: PhD-level problem solvers.
• Level 3: Agents: AI systems that can spend days taking actions for you.
• Level 4: Innovators: Your AI version of Thomas Edison.
• Level 5: Organizations: a single AI doing the job of a whole company.
