Experts reveal how AI is learning human capabilities after stunning Joe Rogan with bleak prediction about world's collapse

Developing AI is essentially a giant leap into the unknown for humanity

AI experts have revealed how quickly artificial intelligence is catching up with human capabilities after stunning Joe Rogan with their 'doomsday clock' prediction.

In the not so distant past, AI robots with human capabilities were nothing more than storylines in futuristic films or TV shows — however, they could very much be part of our lives very soon.

From computer generated images in social media trends to predictive text suggestions, it's fair to say that we're never more than a few clicks away from artificial intelligence, and this is something which experts believe will only grow in the years to come.

So how does AI measure up when performing the same tasks which us mere mortal humans are able to do?

According to Gladstone AI founders Jeremie and Edouard Harris, it's not that far off at all.

When the pair aren't leaving Joe Rogan stunned with their response to an 'AI doomsday clock' scenario, they were explaining how quickly computer intelligence is learning how to complete several things we do on a daily basis.

Referencing a recent study conducted by research company METR during their interview on the podcast, which tested AI models against tasks which humans are also capable of completing.

Calling the findings 'the most concrete piece of evidence we have' Jeremie explained: "They ask the question 'Pick a task which takes a human a certain amount of time and then see how likely the best is AI system will solve that task'."

The researchers then completed the same experiment with various tasks which take different amounts of time before comparing the time taken and success rate to that of a human.

Revealing the surprising results, he continued: "When it comes to AI research itself... you're hitting 50 percent success rate for tasks which take an hour long.

"And that is doubling every four months."

The pair then finished the explanation by saying that by 2027, work completed by a human AI researcher could be conducted by a machine and yield a 50 percent success rate.

So, in a world where AI is able to undertake most jobs, where does that leave humans?

There's a lot of debate around the subject, with people predicting everything leisure-filled utopias to societal breakdown and even the end of human life itself. Which is quite a daunting prospect.

Rogan himself seemed at a loss for suggestions, joking that the popular 'universal basic income' approach would only leave people 'on the dole working for the f**king Skynet'.

How who knows, maybe we'll see end to the 40-hour working week or the end of humanity itself in the next few decades.
