The World’s Toughest AI Exam Tests Reasoning, Not AGI Yet

A new benchmark called Humanity’s Last Exam aims to measure how close today’s AI models come to human-level knowledge by presenting 2,500 carefully vetted, PhD-level questions across 100+ subjects. Launched in 2025, it has been attempted by top models like GPT-4o, Google Gemini The top score reported so far is 48.4% (Gemini 3 Deep Think), far below typical human expert performance (~90%). The test prioritizes precise, non-searchable knowledge and verifiable answers, filtering out questions AI could answer via web search. While a high score would indicate expert-level capability in specific domains, researchers say it does not by itself signal AGI or autonomous, general intelligence.

AI’s rapid march prompts caution and oversight, says Altman

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned in New Delhi that artificial general intelligence could arrive sooner than many expect and that the world is not prepared. He says progress is accelerating, with OpenAI aiming to build an intern-level AI research tool by September 2026 and a fully automated AI researcher by March 2028. A quicker pace could boost demand for data centers, chips, and cloud tools from companies like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Alphabet, while also flagging potential job losses and calling for global oversight to prevent over-centralization of AI technology.

Behavioral success isn’t proof of AI’s general intelligence

In a Nature correspondence, Quattrociocchi, Capraro, and Marcus argue that Chen et al.’s claim that success in behavioural tests (including Turing-test variants) demonstrates artificial general intelligence is problematic. They present three grounds for skepticism, stressing that such performance reflects statistical pattern matching or task-specific competence rather than true general intelligence or understanding, and warn against equating behavioural mimicry with AGI.

Experts warn AI could erase almost all jobs by 2027

Experts warn AI could erase almost all jobs by 2027

AI safety expert Dr. Roman Yampolskiy warns that as early as 2027 up to 99% of human jobs could disappear due to artificial general intelligence and automation, highlighting a potential tectonic shift in economies, education, and policy. While many tasks may be automated, only a small set of human-centric roles may persist, sparking ongoing debate about which occupations survive and how society should adapt—potentially accelerating changes in training, safety nets, and employment strategies.

AI at Davos 2026: Leaders push useful deployment, caution against 'not really human' AI

At Davos 2026, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and leaders from Anthropic and Google DeepMind, alongside Yuval Harari and Yoshua Bengio, debated AI’s path: it should be useful and broadly accessible, while warning against mistaking AI for human-level thinking. They urged humility about AI limits, called for gradual, internationally coordinated safety standards, and warned of governance risks as AI could reshape work, geopolitics (including chip sales to China), and society in the coming years.

Microsoft's AI Vision: Building Human-Centric Superintelligence

Microsoft has established a new superintelligence team led by Mustafa Suleyman to pursue artificial general intelligence (AGI) independently, following a renegotiated partnership with OpenAI. The team aims to build advanced in-house AI models, focusing on fundamental research and safety, with ambitions to impact sectors like healthcare and transportation, and to position Microsoft as a responsible leader in AI development.
