OECD AI Capabilities Indicators
Initiative overview
Developed over five years by a collaboration of over 50 experts, the AI Capability Indicators cover nine human abilities: Language; Social interaction; Problem solving; Creativity; Metacognition and critical thinking; Knowledge, learning and memory; Vision; Manipulation; and Robotic intelligence. Unique in the current policy space, these indicators leverage cutting-edge research to provide a clear framework for policymakers to understand AI's potential impacts on education, work, public affairs and private life. The indicators are presented in scales of five levels, where the most challenging capabilities for AI systems are found towards the top. Grounded in human psychology, this approach offers a structured and high-level perspective on AI development.
