OpenAI said its latest version of ChatGPT is capable of complex reasoning, possibly bringing machines a step closer to humanlike cognition. The new o1 artificial intelligence model, released Thursday, solves complex math, science, and coding problems using a “chain of thought” to process queries — similar to how humans think — the startup said.
While touted as the latest advance in the global race to create more sophisticated AIs, one cognitive scientist urged caution, telling the Financial Times: “We have seen claims about reasoning over and over that have fallen apart upon careful, patient inspection by the scientific community.”
