The cap set equation has long perplexed mathematicians. It involves identifying the largest pattern of points in space where no three points form a straight line.
DeepMind’s AI robot managed to solve the problem in a fraction of the time it took human mathematician Timothy Gowers to devise a solution. AI’s computational skillset has expanded.
AI systems are not just excelling in solving math conundrums; they are also demonstrating sophisticated reasoning abilities.
OpenAI and Microsoft achieved a significant breakthrough by tasking AI with stacking random objects in a stable manner. Not only did the AI successfully solve the task, but it also provided detailed explanations for its reasoning behind the solution. More than ever it is mirroring human thought processes.
AGI Studies
Microsoft’s GPT-4 team published a comprehensive report titled “Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments of GPT-4.” It highlights their discoveries and advocates for the existence of artificial general intelligence (AGI). This landmark study signifies a pivotal moment in AI research. It concludes AI has an increasing potential to emulate human-like cognitive functions.
