ARC Prize Challenge: AI’s Struggle With Simple Puzzles

The ARC Prize test is a deceptively simple challenge designed to measure a machine’s ability to reason, abstract, and generalize—core ingredients of artificial general intelligence (AGI). It’s the most prominent benchmark to emerge as researchers look for ways to measure progress toward AGI. For the full story, see the feature article “Will We Know Artificial General Intelligence When We See It?”

While today’s smartest AI models still struggle with many of these visual puzzles, humans often…
