OpenAI's 5 levels of "super AI" (AGI surpassing human capabilities)
Jodie Cook Senior Contributor I write about ChatGPT prompts and AI tools for coaches and entrepreneurs. Follow Reportedly, OpenAI is tracking its progress toward building artificial general intelligence (AGI). This is AI that can surpass humans in most tasks.
Using a set of five levels, the company can assess its progress toward the ultimate goal. According to Bloomberg, OpenAI believes its technology is approaching the second of five levels on the path to artificial general intelligence. Anna Gallotti, co-chair of the special task force on AI and coaching at the International Coaching Federation, called this scale "super AI" in a LinkedIn post, seeing in it an opportunity for entrepreneurs, coaches and consultants. Axios stated that AI experts disagree on whether "today's large language models, which excel at generating text and images, will ever be able to broadly understand the world and flexibly adapt to new information and circumstances." The disagreement points to blind spots that lead to opportunities.
Concepts from the article
AI — Artificial Intelligence. A set of methods and systems performing tasks usually requiring human reasoning, learning, perception or content generation. In HEXX AI CMS it includes language models, document analysis and automations.
Why it matters: It takes over repetitive tasks — transcriptions, descriptions, translations, selection — and shortens the path from idea to publication. In an editorial office it means more time for work a machine won't do: evaluation, contacts, decisions.
When to use it: For generating and editing content, document analysis, transcription, translation and automating the flow of materials.
What happens if you skip it: Without AI, the team manually does bulk work (image descriptions, language versions, summaries), while competitors publish faster and cheaper.
