Marking this important moment in history on my blog.Last week we had humanoid robots setting new marathon records (power/speed) and beating professional ping pong players (dexterity/reflex).
We have noted important AI moments in the past like IBM defeating a chess grandmaster in 1997, Google defeating Go in 2015, and OpenAI passing the Turing Test in 2025.
Well, today we have 20 different AI models (LLMs) that are smarter than the average human (ranked as 100 on this chart).
More importantly, we now have 11 models running beyond genius level (130 on this chart) according to Mensa Norway.
Futurist Ray Kurzweil predicted that by 2029, computers will achieve human-level intelligence, passing a valid Turing test (already happened last year), marking the arrival of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
He expects this AI to possess human-level cognitive capabilities, leading to significant human-machine integration and the start of a technological/biological singularity by 2045.
He may have been too conservative on this forecast by at least 15 years.
