In secondary school, if you read that big textbook WAEC recommended for Biology, titled Modern Biology, you would have noticed that life is built up in phases. Yes, cells coming together will give tissues, and when tissues are working together you get organs, and groups of organs will deliver systems which then give the organism. My Biology teacher, Mr Bobo, used the central nervous system, connecting how the brain and spinal cord serve as organs to make that system function.
The Microbiology graduate of University of Ibadan would explain how cells are the functional unit of life, consisting of molecules, and comprising different parts, including DNA, cytoplasm, and ribosomes. That was natural philosophy in the biological sense of it, but we can see five core things: cells, tissues, organs, systems and organisms.
Now, there is an AI-evolution and OpenAI is giving equivalents in the workplace. Yes, ChatGPT’s OpenAI has identified 5 levels of artificial intelligence evolution:

- Chatbots, Al with conversational language
- Reasoners, human-level problem solving
- Agents, systems that can take actions
- Innovators, Al that can aid in invention
- Organizations, Al that can do the work of an organization
Good People, they think they have the “cells” and are working on the “tissues”. If they succeed, we can have a modern organism (yes, the organization) where AI is the firm. Scary?
OpenAI has introduced a five-tier system to track its progress towards achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The levels range from Level 1, representing current conversational AI, to Level 5, envisioning AI capable of managing and performing the work of an entire organization. OpenAI believes it is approaching Level 2, which involves problem-solving akin to a PhD without tools. The framework aims to provide a structured approach to understanding and developing AI systems that could eventually surpass human intelligence.
