AGI Score (A Definition of AGI)
Experts test models on ten cognitive domains from Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory, such as reasoning, memory and perception, with adapted human psychometric tests. Each domain counts 10% toward a score out of 100%.
The paper scores GPT-4 at 27% and GPT-5 at 57%. Long-term memory storage was the weakest domain. The CAIS dashboard shows the score under Automation.
In the authors’ words
The lack of a concrete definition for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) obscures the gap between today's specialized AI and human-level cognition. This paper introduces a quantifiable framework to address this, defining AGI as matching the cognitive versatility and proficiency of a well-educated adult. To operationalize this, we ground our methodology in Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory, the most empirically validated model of human cognition. The framework dissects general intelligence into ten core cognitive domains-including reasoning, memory, and perception-and adapts established human psychometric batteries to evaluate AI systems. Application of this framework reveals a highly "jagged" cognitive profile in contemporary models. While proficient in knowledge-intensive domains, current AI systems have critical deficits in foundational cognitive machinery, particularly long-term memory storage. The resulting AGI scores (e.g., GPT-4 at 27%, GPT-5 at 57%) concretely quantify both rapid progress and the substantial gap remaining before AGI.
