How do you judge an AI model when it’s already starting to perform better than human beings? That’s the challenge faced by researchers like Russell Wald, executive director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI).
“As of 2024, there are very few task categories where human ability surpasses AI, and even in these areas, the performance gap between AI and humans is shrinking rapidly,” Wald said last week in a presentation hosted at the Fortune Brainstorm AI Singapore conference. “AI is exceeding human capabilities and it’s becoming increasingly harder for us to benchmark.”
