The info assortment is a part of OpenAI’s efforts to check the efficiency of its AI fashions in opposition to a longtime human baseline for numerous duties. It comes at a time when a number of AI firms together with Anthropic and Google are enlisting massive groups of contractors to generate high-quality coaching knowledge that can be utilized to develop AI fashions and AI brokers able to automating enterprise work.
A number of tech {industry} leaders have warned of a white-collar ‘massacre’ as a result of affect of AI on low-level duties and entry-level roles, at the same time as tech firms equivalent to OpenAI proceed to pursue synthetic common intelligence (AGI) – a hypothetical AI system that outperforms people at most economically precious duties.
