The tech industry is uniquely vulnerable to anthropomorphism. When an algorithm outputs something surprising, the human instinct is to ascribe human-like thought processes to it. Our methodology actively strips away this bias.

At aimove37.com, we define a "Move 37 Moment" using strict criteria. To be included in this index, an AI breakthrough must meet three conditions:

  1. The Novelty Constraint: The output or behavior must not be a direct interpolation of the training data. It must represent a zero-shot synthesis or a discovery of a novel strategy (e.g., AlphaGo's Move 37).
  2. The Efficacy Constraint: The novel behavior must be measurably superior to human baselines or previous state-of-the-art models within the defined objective function.
  3. The Alien Logic Constraint: The path taken to the solution must deviate significantly from human heuristics.

If an AI writes a generic poem, that is interpolation. If an AI invents a bluffing strategy in poker that human pros consider mathematically absurd, yet it wins consistently, that is emergence.

Data Sources and Verification

We rely on primary sources: published, peer-reviewed papers (e.g., Nature, Science), detailed pre-prints from major research labs (DeepMind, OpenAI, Meta AI), and verifiable benchmark data (like CASP for AlphaFold).

Claim Type Our Verification Standard
"AGI Sparks" Must pass hold-out zero-shot reasoning benchmarks.
Superhuman Gameplay Must defeat professional humans in statistical significance (Elo rating).
Scientific Discovery Must be validated by independent laboratory experiments.

FAQ: Our Approach

Why ignore generative art models (Midjourney, etc)?
While visually impressive, most current image generation relies heavily on interpolating the latent space of human art. It is difficult to empirically prove that a specific generated image represents a novel "strategy" rather than complex style transfer.
Do you believe AGI is imminent?
We take no stance on timelines. We merely index the milestones of capability overhang as they occur.
