Can the 'Gato' AI model out-perform human intelligence?

Deepmind, a subsidiary of Alphabet specialising in artificial intelligence, recently presented its "Gato" model. This so-called "general-purpose" AI model can reportedly perform more than 600 different tasks. And, in many of these tasks, the AI might even perform better than a human being. Could Deepmind have built the first general-purpose artificial intelligence model, i.e., a model capable of learning several tasks at once, whereas most AI models are trained for a specific purpose? Since the American company unveiled its new work, the question has been spurring reaction from computer experts around the world.
