The Fallacy of Artificial General Intelligence: Microsoft's Recognition of the Limits of LLMs

-
  Microsoft released a research work last week [1] that claims that GPT-4 capabilities can be viewed as an early version of Artificial General Intelligence. The authors states that " the breadth and depth of GPT -4's capabilities, we believe that it could reasonably be viewed as an early (yet still incomplete) version of an artificial general intelligence (AGI) system. "  The researchers adopted the following definition of human Intelligence to reach this conclusion: " a very general mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience. ". According to the same paper, the definition was proposed in 1994 by a group of psychologists. Interestingly, the authors of the paper [1] acknowledges that the definition of human intelligence is somehow restrictive. They also acknowledge that some components of this definition are currently missing

The Three Eyed Invigilator: how to conduct a remote examination in a reliable way

For many reasons students may be offered the possibility of doing their exams from their homes. However, we are not able to invigilate exams reliably because students’ computer webcams only cover a very small area of the home exam environment . It is almost impossible to detect any cheating when invigilators have to invigilate the exams of multiple students who are simultaneously doing their exams from home. We have elaborated an invigilator that uses AI techniques to provide real-time invigilation conditions similar to what happens in real life invigilation. It doesn’t require any expensive devices and respects the student’s privacy.  The student needs only a rotator that should be provided by his/her university. Currently we are building a controllable rotator that provides pan and tilt movements. This rotator will allow the smartphone to cover a bigger area inside the exam room to be controllable remotely by the invigilator. We are planning in the future to adapt the rotator to invi
