Tests that AIs Often Fail and Humans Ace Could Pave the Way for Artificial General Intelligence

Over the years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant advancements in various tasks that require high levels of human expertise. However, achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) remains a challenging feat for AI systems. AGI refers to the ability of an AI to generalize and adapt to highly novel situations, similar to human learning capabilities.

One test that has been designed to evaluate an AI’s ability to generalize is the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC). Developed by AI researcher François Chollet in 2019, ARC consists of colored-grid puzzles that require a solver to deduce a hidden rule and apply it to a new grid. The ARC Prize Foundation, a nonprofit program, administers the test and has recently launched ARC-AGI-3, which focuses on testing AI agents by making them play video games.

Greg Kamradt, the president of the ARC Prize Foundation, explains that the tests evaluate an AI’s ability to learn new things within a narrow domain. While AI models may excel at specific tasks, such as winning at chess or Go, their ability to generalize across different domains is limited. This limitation is what separates AGI from current AI capabilities.

Kamradt defines AGI as the ability of an artificial system to match the learning efficiency of a human. Humans can learn and adapt to new situations outside of their training data, showcasing their generalization capabilities. In contrast, AI systems struggle with tasks that require this level of generalization, as seen in the ARC tests where humans outperform AI models.

The ARC Prize Foundation differentiates itself from other organizations by requiring that their benchmarks be solvable by humans. This approach ensures that the tests measure a model’s ability to generalize and adapt in a way that mimics human intelligence. By testing humans on the benchmarks, the foundation can compare human performance to AI performance, highlighting the areas where AI falls short.

One of the key challenges that AI faces in the ARC tests is sample efficiency. Humans can quickly grasp new concepts with minimal examples, while AI systems require a larger dataset to learn the same concept. This difference in learning efficiency is a significant factor in why the tests are challenging for AI and relatively easy for humans.

Overall, the ARC tests provide valuable insights into the current state of AI capabilities and highlight the areas where AI falls short of achieving AGI. By focusing on generalization and adaptability, the tests push AI systems to improve their learning efficiency and bridge the gap between human and artificial intelligence. In 2024, the AI community witnessed a significant breakthrough with the introduction of reasoning models by OpenAI. These models, known as ARC-AGI-2, marked a shift in what AI was capable of achieving. Unlike previous AI systems, ARC-AGI-2 required more planning and precision for each task, challenging humans to think more strategically and carefully. While tasks that could be solved in seconds by AI now took humans a minute or two to complete, the complexity and scale of the challenges pushed the boundaries of what AI could accomplish.

Building on the success of ARC-AGI-2, developers are now gearing up for the launch of ARC-AGI-3. This new iteration represents a departure from traditional benchmarks, as it introduces an interactive format designed to test agents in a more dynamic and realistic manner. Rather than focusing on stateless decision-making, ARC-AGI-3 will present agents with a series of novel video games that require them to plan, explore, and intuit about their environment and goals.

The video games in ARC-AGI-3 are two-dimensional, pixel-based puzzles structured as distinct levels, each teaching specific skills to players. To progress through these levels, players must demonstrate mastery of these skills by executing well-thought-out sequences of actions. The goal is to assess whether AI agents can adapt to and excel in unfamiliar environments they have never encountered before.

Using video games as a testing ground for AGI introduces a fresh approach to evaluating AI systems. Unlike traditional benchmarks like Atari games, which have limitations such as extensive training data availability and lack of standardized evaluation metrics, ARC-AGI-3 presents a more challenging and unbiased platform for testing AI capabilities. By creating games that developers have no prior knowledge of, ARC-AGI-3 aims to eliminate the potential for embedded insights in solutions, pushing AI agents to rely solely on their ability to adapt and learn in real-time scenarios.

For those interested in experiencing the challenges posed by ARC-AGI-3, the games are accessible through the ARC Prize website. With each level presenting a unique and engaging puzzle, players can test their skills and see how they stack up against AI agents in a dynamic and immersive environment.
