  1. Assessment: UnresolvedSaid

    Forecast

    “If there exist AI systems that can perform 8 of the 10 tasks below by the end of 2027, as determined by our panel of judges, Gary will donate $2,000 to a charity of Miles’ choice; if AI can do fewer than 8, Miles will donate $20,000 to a charity of Gary’s choice.”

    Our reading: Marcus, in a bet co-signed with Miles Brundage, takes the side that by the end of 2027 AI systems will not be able to perform 8 of the 10 listed tasks, as determined by a panel of judges: he pays $2,000 to Brundage's chosen charity if they can, and Brundage pays $20,000 to Marcus's chosen charity if AI can do fewer than 8.

    Recommendation or value judgment

    “Both of us agree that the achievement of 8 out of 10 of these tasks would be strong evidence for the G (General) in Artificial General Intelligence having been achieved.”

    Our reading: Marcus and Brundage agree that achieving 8 of the 10 listed tasks would be strong evidence that the 'General' in Artificial General Intelligence had been achieved.
