jack-clark.net by Jack Clark 13 min read Editor score 6/10

The benchmark has 522 questions across 288 images and 234 video clips, testing reasoning about what scenes imply but do not state. It offers AI engineers a concrete evaluation target for visual and temporal reasoning.

What
Humanity’s Sixth Sense is a benchmark for reasoning about what visual scenes imply but do not explicitly show.
How
Its 522 questions cover images and video across temporal and causal, physical and spatial, social, and abstract inference; the reported human score exceeded the best AI score.
Why it matters
The benchmark exposes a gap in intuitive visual reasoning that matters when evaluating multimodal systems beyond explicit image recognition.
