Meta is on the brink of releasing AI models it claims to have "human-level cognition" - hinting at new models capable of more than simple conversations

Description:
We could be in for another big year of AI development as Meta and OpenAI are working on models that can reason, think, and display human levels of cognition.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

We could be on the cusp of a whole new realm of AI large language models and chatbots thanks to Metas Llama 3 and OpenAIs GPT-5, as both companies emphasize the hard work going into making these bots more human.

In an event earlier this week, Meta reiterated that Llama 3 will be rolling out to the public in the coming weeks, with Metas president of global affairs Nick Clegg stating that we should expect the large language model Within the next month, actually less, hopefully in a very short period, we hope to start rolling out our new suite of next-generation foundation models, Llama 3.



Metas large language models are publicly available, allowing developers and researchers free and open access to the tech to create their bots or conduct research on various aspects of artificial intelligence. The models are
trained on a plethora of text-based information, and Llama 3 promises much more impressive capabilities than the current model.

No official date for Metas Llama 3 or OpenAIs GPT-5 has been announced just yet, but we can safely assume the models will make an appearance in the
coming weeks. Smarten Up

Joelle Pineau, the vice president of AI research at Meta noted that We are hard at work in figuring out how to get these models not just to talk, but actually to reason, to plan...to have memory. Openais chief operating officer Brad Lightcap told the Finacial Times in an interview that the next GPT version would show progress in solving difficult queries with reasoning.

So, it seems the next big push with these AI bots will be introducing the human element of reasoning and for lack of a better term, thinking. Lightcap also said Were going to start to see AI that can take on more complex tasks
in a more sophisticated way, adding Were just starting to scratch the
surface on the ability that these models have to reason.

As tech companies like OpenAI and Meta continue working on more sophisticated and lifelike human interfaces, it is both exciting and somewhat unnerving to think about a chatbot that can think with reason and memory. Tools like Midjourney and Sora have championed just how good AI can be in terms of quality output, and Google Gemini and ChatGPT are great examples of how helpful text-based bots can be in the everyday.

With so many ethical and moral concerns still unaddressed with the current tools available right now as they are, I dread to think what kind of
nefarious things could be done with more human AI models. Plus, you must
admit its all starting to feel a little bit like the start of a sci-fi horror story. You might also like... ChatGPT might get its own dedicated personal AI device with Jony Ive's help OpenAI's Sora just made its first music video

becoming the next Google with its new account-free version
