Measuring progress toward AGI: A cognitive framework (3 minute read)

Google DeepMind released a paper outlining a cognitive taxonomy to measure AI progress toward AGI, identifying 10 key cognitive abilities like perception, learning, and reasoning. It proposes a three-stage evaluation protocol comparing AI performance to human benchmarks. A Kaggle hackathon, with a $200,000 prize pool, invites researchers to develop evaluations for five under-assessed abilities, using a new Community Benchmarks platform.
