Defining progress: What We Need to Talk About When We Talk About Artificial Intelligence
30.11.2023 - 02:45 / tech.hindustantimes.com
Ever since Alan Turing's “imitation game,” we've been acutely aware of the importance of measuring the capabilities of computers against our own miraculous brains. The British pioneer's method, outlined in 1950, is primitive today, but it sought to answer a persistent question: How will we tell when a machine has become as (or more) intelligent than a human being?
Defining such progress is imperative for productive conversations about artificial intelligence. Specifically, the question of what can be considered artificial general intelligence — a “mind” as adaptable as our own — needs to be considered using a set of shared parameters. Currently, the term lacks precise definitions, making predictions of AGI's arrival and impact simultaneously both unnecessarily alarmist or insufficiently concerned.
Consider the hopeless spread of predictions on AGI. Earlier this year, the preeminent AI researcher Geoffrey Hinton predicted “without much confidence” that AGI could be present within five to 20 years. One attempt to collate a sample of approximately 1,700 experts offered timing estimates from next year to never. One reason for the chasm is that we haven't decided collectively what we're even talking about. “If you were to ask 100 AI experts to define what they mean by ‘AGI,' you would likely get 100 related but different definitions,” notes a recent paper from a team at DeepMind, the AI unit within Google.
One of the paper's co-authors, Shane Legg, is credited with popularizing the AGI term. Now he and his team are seeking to set up a sensible framework with which to measure and define the technology — a taxonomy that can be used to help assuage or heighten fears and offer straightforward context to non-experts and legislators.
The effort is modeled on the system for describing the capabilities of self-driving cars. In 2014, SAE International (formerly the Society of Automotive Engineers) defined six distinct levels of autonomous capability, from Level 0 — human driver in full control of vehicle's operation — to Level 5 — full automation of all the vehicle's functions in all conditions. The scale has proved useful for lawmakers to set rules of the road and for the public to understand their cars' capabilities. A car with Level 2 automation — steering, lane changes, acceleration and deceleration, in some settings, mostly on highways — can be legally driven on the road today on the condition that a human is sitting alert to take over immediately. But Level 4 or 5 cars, such as Alphabet's Waymo cars on trial in San Francisco, need special permission to be used in public and are subject to additional oversight on their performance.
Classifying AGI will be much more complex than autonomous vehicles because the

Deloitte Is Looking to Artificial Intelligence to Help Avoid Mass Layoffs in Future
The giants of the consulting world face an unusual quandary this year: many of them are in the process of dismissing hundreds of staffers even after they hired thousands of college graduates to deal with new demand. Now, one of the biggest of them all is looking to artificial intelligence (AI) to change that. Deloitte LLP is using AI to evaluate existing staffers' skills and map out plans that would shift employees away from quieter parts of the business and into roles that are more in demand. It's part of a broader bet by the professional services firm that the technology will allow it to moderate hiring growth over time.

What to know before watching Wonka, which is worth watching
Wonka, out in theaters starting Dec. 15,is the latest attempt to expand the story of Roald Dahl’s famed chocolatier. Maybe the origin story of how Willy Wonka started his chocolate factory isn’t a tale anyone was clamoring for, and the casting of Timothée Chalamet makes it sound like more of a star-of-the-moment IP-friendly vehicle than an honest attempt at for-all-ages filmmaking.

What you wanted to know about Google Gemini AI, but were afraid of asking - 10 points
Google Gemini AI has been launched on Wednesday and it has been injected into its Bard chatbot. This is a new-generation artificial intelligence model and, although Google executives refused to compare it with the OpenAI chatbot, it is being hyped up as being able to reason better than ChatGPT and other rivals. "This is incredible momentum, and yet, we're only beginning to scratch the surface of what's possible," Google chief executive Sundar Pichai said in a release. While OpenAI teamed up with Microsoft to add financial heft, Google has gone with DeepMind to create Gemini, the main competitor to ChatGPT.
