šŸ—£ļøOpenAI CEO Sam Altmanā€™s New Blog Post on AGI

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman published a new blog post revealing that OpenAI knows how to build Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

Key Details:
  • OpenAI defines AGI as ā€œAI systems that are generally smarter than humans.ā€

  • ā€œWeā€™re now confident we know how to build AGI,ā€ wrote Altman. ā€œWeā€™re beginning to turn our aim beyond that to Superintelligence.ā€

  • Altman is referring to OpenAI o3, the companyā€™s latest Reasoning Engine that can break down complex tasks into manageable steps to solve difficult problems in math, coding, and science.

  • OpenAI o3 achieved 88% accuracy on the ARC-AGI benchmark, becoming the first AI model to surpass the 85% accuracy threshold required to outperform humans.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • Over 1,700 AI experts expect AGI to occur before 2060. However, if Altmanā€™s claims are true, they reshape industry standards by decades.

  • Developers view the ARC-AGI benchmark as the gold standard for evaluating general intelligence in AI models because every complex task requires distinct reasoning skills. In other words, AI models canā€™t rely on memorized patterns.

šŸŽ£AI Systems Send Highly Personalized Spear Phishing Emails

Image Source: Harvard University (ā€œHarvardā€)/ā€œEvaluating the Capability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to Launch Fully Automated Spear Phishing Campaigns: Validated on Human Subjectsā€/Screenshot

Researchers at Harvard University (ā€œHarvardā€) discovered that AI systems can autonomously craft, test, and send highly personalized Spear Phishing emails.

Key Details:
  • Spear Phishing emails are personalized attacks that target a specific person by exploiting their ā€œroutines, interests, or characteristics.ā€

  • There were 101 participants across four email groups:

    1. Control Group: Sent generic scam emails without any tailored information.

    2. Human Expert Group: Sent Spear Phishing emails created by human experts.

    3. AI-Automated Group: Sent Spear Phishing emails generated entirely by AI systems.

    4. Human Oversight Group: Sent Spear Phishing emails generated by AI systems with human oversight.

  • The Control Group had a 12% Click Rate, while the Human Expert Group and the AI-Automated Group had a 54% Click Rate.

  • The AI-Automated Group performed 350% better than the Control Group.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • Spear Phishing emails are usually costly, time-consuming, and donā€™t scale well.

  • However, AI systems drastically reduce the costs of Spear Phishing emails while maintaining an excellent Click Rate at scale.
