The IQ improvement is NOT because the questions are in the training data. When readers of the Maximum Truth blog took the Mensa Norway questions, they averaged just 103. Of course this is a small sample size, however, it is directionally important. Now the other A.I’s will catch up and they will all surpass the average human intelligence level in short order. And then where does it go from there. A.I. is rapidly advancing and governments worldwide are now implementing A.I. in virtually everyone of their systems, and that includes military, markets, power grids and more. Should we be worried? Should we get prepared for an A.I. black swan event? You tell me….
Worried about AI taking over the world?
You probably should be.
That’s my new takeaway after testing OpenAI’s new model, “o1”1 this morning. It blows all other AIs out of the water on the Norway Mensa IQ test:
I had become blasé about AI progress after my initial tests in February, because there was approximately zero IQ improvement since then.
This week, that all changed.
Specifically, o1 got 25 out of 35 IQ questions correct, far above what most humans get. You can see its answers to every question here, and below some specific examples:

Here’s the hardest question on the quiz, which it gets right:
The correct answer is probably not obvious to you. It’s certainly not obvious to me.
