Some say OpenAI's o1 models are close to artificial general intelligence. Most people won't notice when AGI ultimately arrives, some AI experts say. AdvertisementSome say o1 shows how we might reach artificial general intelligence — a still theoretical form of AI that meets or surpasses human intelligence — without realizing it. "Most folks don't have a lot of tasks that bump up against limits of human intelligence, so won't see it." Tier 3, or "Artificial Focused Intelligence," is an AI that outperforms average human experts in specific, intellectually demanding tasks.
