François Chollet, a prominent AI researcher, is co-founding the ARC Prize Foundation to create benchmarks for assessing artificial general intelligence (AGI). This nonprofit aims to inspire advancements in AI by addressing the gap in human capabilities. The foundation will be led by Greg Kamradt, a former Salesforce engineering director, who will serve as president.
The ARC Prize Foundation will build upon the ARC-AGI benchmark, which evaluates an AI's ability to learn new skills beyond its training data. Chollet's initiative seeks to refine these benchmarks to better measure AI's progress toward human-level intelligence. Notably, OpenAI's unreleased o3 model has already achieved a qualifying score on the ARC-AGI, but Chollet emphasizes that true AGI remains a significant challenge.
