Deep dives

The Journey Toward AGI

The timeline for achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) is evolving rapidly, with many experts now suggesting a shorter timeframe than previously anticipated. The average prediction for when AGI will be realized has decreased significantly, from around 80 years to less than a decade, largely due to advancements in AI technology, particularly with large language models. This accelerated pace has shifted the conversation from merely theoretical discussions to practical implications, suggesting that AGI may arrive sooner than many expect. However, with evolving definitions of AGI based on advancements, ongoing debates continue on whether current technologies can already be classified as AGI.
