AI World Journal - In a major step toward safer and more responsible artificial intelligence development, scientists have introduced a new "AGI benchmark" designed to assess whether any future AI model could cause catastrophic harm. As AI technology advances rapidly, the need for proactive safeguards becomes increasingly urgent. This benchmark aims to address concerns about the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI), which refers to AI systems capable of performing a wide range of tasks at a level equal to or greater than human intelligence.
