Artificial Intelligence Bot Passes University Exam
An artificial intelligence bot similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT has achieved a passing grade in a university exam, an economics professor has revealed. The Claude AI, developed by the research firm Anthropic, earned a “marginal pass” on a blind graded law and economics test, which examiners described as “better than many human” candidates.
Improvements Over Previous AI Models
Professor Alex Tabarrok from George Mason University shared his insights on the Claude AI. He believed that while it was an improvement on the AI built by OpenAI, it still had notable flaws compared to the best human students. The professor cited an example of an answer given by the Claude AI regarding improvements to intellectual property laws.
The Claude AI offered a 400-word answer containing five main points, but reportedly lacked clear reasoning. According to Professor Tabarrok, “A better answer would have tied the opinion more clearly to economic reasoning. Still a credible response and better than many human responses.”
Latest Advancements in AI Technology
The recent success of the Claude AI comes amidst the hype surrounding natural language models, particularly following the public release of ChatGPT by OpenAI. These advancements have raised concerns about potential biases in AI algorithms trained on human-generated data sources.
Future Prospects in AI Development
OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, expressed caution regarding the current capabilities of AI technology. While acknowledging its limitations, he warned of future iterations that could surpass the current ChatGPT model. The field of AI is evolving rapidly, with various competitors like Google's LaMDA and Sparrow chatbots entering the scene.
Anthropic, co-founded by former employees of OpenAI, stands as a formidable competitor to existing models like ChatGPT. A recent comparison between Claude and ChatGPT highlighted their respective strengths and weaknesses in different areas of natural language processing.
