AI vs. human – which one is better in major benchmarks? (chart)

It becomes increasingly important to learn which areas of competence artificial intelligence is particularly good at, and whether it poses a threat to humans.

The recent chart by created by Mark Belan for the Visual Capitalist compares the performance AI and humans across several benchmarks, including image and text recognition, language understanding, or common-sense completion.

Using data from Contextual AI, the chart visualizes how quickly AI models have started to beat database benchmarks, as well as whether or not they’ve yet reached human levels of skill.

💬 Thanks to revolutions in computing power, data availability, and better algorithms, AI models are faster, have bigger datasets to learn from, and are optimized for efficiency compared to even a decade ago.

It turns out artificial intelligence has surpassed human capabilities in such fields as image recognition, reading comprehension, handwriting recognition, language understanding, and speech recognition. AI is also on the verge of beating humans in common-sense completion.
