General summary

Google DeepMind wants to help measure the progress of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) using cognitive science. Their new paper, "Measuring Progress Toward AGI: A Cognitive Taxonomy," presents a framework for understanding AI systems' cognitive capabilities. You can participate by designing evaluations for key cognitive abilities in their Kaggle hackathon for a chance to win from a prize pool of $200,000. Summaries were generated by Google AI. Generative AI is experimental.
