AI now beats humans at basic tasks - new benchmarks are needed, says major report
Briefly

AI systems like ChatGPT are approaching or surpassing human performance in reading, image classification, and mathematics, rendering many benchmarks outdated. Progress is so rapid that benchmarks are becoming obsolete within a few years.
The AI Index Report 2024 from Stanford University emphasizes the need for new ways to evaluate AI, especially in complex tasks like abstraction and reasoning. The pace of advancement is described as remarkably swift, making previous benchmarks outdated quickly.
Stanford's AI Index assesses technical capabilities, ethics, and more in the AI field, highlighting the rapid rise of AI-related regulation in the U.S. But the lack of standardized assessments hinders comparing AI systems in terms of responsible use and risks.
The 2024 AI Index Report dedicates a chapter to science applications of AI for the first time, showcasing the increasing integration of AI in scientific endeavors.
