Mission Critical: GPT-4 Ignites Race for Artificial General Intelligence

Date

The technology ranks in the 80th percentile or higher on academic tests

The recent launch of GPT-4 by OpenAI is likely to open the chase for developing stronger AI systems, accelerating the evolution toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), according to GlobalData.

“GPT-4 is a big leap from its predecessor GPT-3.5, given its advanced engine can solve complex problems requiring multiple steps and has ushered into multimodality where it can offer text outputs based on image inputs unlike before,” said Kiran Raj, practice head of disruptive tech at GlobalData. “The multimodal capability can be seen as a cornerstone for the progress towards AGI from the existing artificial narrow intelligence (ANI) systems.”

“GPT-4 can be considered a part of the large language model (LLM) family with a demonstratively higher ‘general intelligence’ than the previous AI models,” said Saurabh Daga, associate project manager of disruptive tech at GlobalData. “In addition to multimodality, GPT-4 can supposedly drive improvement in AI models apropos performing academic and professional tasks with near human-level proficiency.”

OpenAI boasts that GPT-4 ranked in the 80th percentile or above in the simulation of complex academic tests such as the Uniform Bar Exam, Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), and Graduate Record Examination (GRE), outperforming GPT-3.5 and similar models.
