=== Progress in AI and claims of AGI ===

Recent developments in AI, particularly in [[large language model]]s (LLMs) based on the [[Transformer (machine learning model)|transformer]] architecture, have led to significant improvements in various tasks. Models like [[GPT-3]], [[GPT-4]], [[Claude 3.5]] and others have demonstrated capabilities that some researchers argue approach or even exhibit aspects of [[artificial general intelligence]] (AGI).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Microsoft Researchers Claim GPT-4 Is Showing "Sparks" of AGI |url=https://futurism.com/gpt-4-sparks-of-agi |access-date=2023-12-13 |website=Futurism |date=23 March 2023 }}</ref>

However, the claim that current LLMs constitute AGI is controversial. Critics argue that these models, while impressive, still lack true understanding and are primarily sophisticated pattern matching systems.<ref>{{Cite arXiv |last1=Marcus |first1=Gary |last2=Davis |first2=Ernest |title=GPT-4 and Beyond: The Future of Artificial Intelligence |eprint=2303.10130 |year=2023|class=econ.GN }}</ref>
