Researchers at the Center for AI Safety and Scale AI have published "Humanity’s Last Exam" — a test designed to measure how close today’s most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) models are to meeting or exceeding human-level knowledge across several domains.
The test was launched in January 2025, but scientists outlined the framework and their thinking behind its design for the first time in a new study published Jan. 28 in the journal Nature. It contains a corpus of 2,500 questions across more than 100 subjects, with input from more than 1,000 subject-matter experts from 500 institutions across 50 countries.
