The ARC Prize tour made a significant stop in New York City, hosted by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) at their office. The event featured prominent figures in the AI community, including Mike Knoop and Francois Chollet, who discussed the ARC-AGI benchmark, which sets a standard for determining general intelligence based on the ability to acquire new skills. The gathering attracted a full house, with approximately 75 AI researchers in attendance, fostering awareness and community around the challenge. The event was part of a broader University Tour aimed at engaging the academic community and promoting the ARC Prize initiative.
