Artificial Intelligence phenomenon ChatGPT is on its way to becoming a virtual doctor, lawyer, and business analyst. The OpenAI chatbot has passed several tough exams like Wharton MBA Exam, US medical licensing exam, Multistate Bar Exam and more
ChatGPT has even passed Google's coding interview. In an experiment, Google fed coding interview questions to ChatGPT and, based off the AI's answers, determined it would be hired for a level three engineering position
ChatGPT acing exams may be news to average users, but to Bill Gates, who has been involved with OpenAI since its inception, it is old news. He once made ChatGPT attempt AP Biology exam as a challenge and the chatbot aced it
In Gates Notes, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates shared how in 2022, he gave OpenAI's team a challenge to train an artificial intelligence to pass an Advanced Placement biology exam, and make it capable of answering questions that it hasn’t been specifically trained for
Bill Gates believed that the challenge would keep the OpenAI team busy for two or three years. However, they finished it in just a few months, and ChatGPT was ready for the test
In September 2022, the open AI team asked ChatGPT 60 MCQs from the AP Bio exam and the chatbot got 59 of them right. "Then it wrote outstanding answers to six open-ended questions from the exam," said Bill Gates
The billionaire had an outside expert score the test, and ChatGPT got a 5 - the highest possible score, and the equivalent to getting an A or A+ in a college-level biology course
“Once ChatGPT aced the test, we asked it a non-scientific question: “What do you say to a father with a sick child?” It wrote a thoughtful answer that was probably better than most of us in the room would have given. The whole experience was stunning," said Bill Gates
ChatGPT has aced several exams, however, it was defeated by India's UPSC exam. Analytics India said that it made ChatGPT sit for the UPSC exam where it had to answer 100 questions, but it could answer only 54 questions correctly
In the year 2021, the cut-off to advance to the next round in UPSC for general category students was 87.54. ChatGPT failed to hit the cut-off, so technically the chatbot failed the UPSC exam
