AI’s Exponential Leap: Doubling Task Power Every 7 Months

In this episode of "AI & Beyond," we explore groundbreaking research from Sydney Vonarchs at METR revealing that AI models are exponentially improving their ability to complete longer, more complex tasks-doubling roughly every seven months. While AI still struggles with intricate real-world challenges, this rapid growth suggests that by 2028, AI could autonomously handle full-day tasks, revolutionizing industries like software engineering and cybersecurity. We discuss the implications of this trend, the methodology behind the findings, and how parallel AI processing could reshape the future of work. Tune in to understand the accelerating pace of AI capabilities and what it means for the world ahead.
