An MIT student feared that an AGI would imminently wipe us out — but experts don't think we're anywhere close to building such a model.

In an internal memo seen by The New York Times, the Google cofounder told employees working on Gemini, which develops the company’s suite of AI products, he recommends being in the office “at least every weekday” and that “60 hours a week is the sweet spot of productivity.”

Artificial intelligence models that can discover drugs and write code still fail at puzzles a lay person can master in minutes. This phenomenon sits at the heart of the challenge of artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Skepticism is mounting as the rate of progress for scalable artificial intelligence models appears to be slowing down.

A lice Blair, who enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2023, has taken a permanent leave of absence because she believes “artificial general intelligence” (AGI) could arrive soon enough and pose risks severe enough that finishing college may not matter.

The technical challenges are substantial but more tractable than general-purpose AGI. EGI requires shifting from static prompts to real-time system integration, from text generation to multi-system orchestration and from human validation to autonomous error correction based on predefined, human-generated rules and guardrails.

Demis Hassabis says AI's next leap to AGI will require fixing a key flaw: consistency.

AI skeptic François Chollet halves his AGI forecast to five years and reveals a new reasoning benchmark — and it’s not about scaling bigger models.

In a new post, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company’s AI is on the slow road to superintelligence, a technological threshold beyond artificial general intelligence (AGI) when AI can begin improving itself.

Startup Character.AI once promised superintelligence. Its new CEO says it's now an entertainment company with 20 million users.

Some tech workers preparing for an AI apocalypse — or utopia — by leaning into working out, building bunkers, or burning their retirement savings.
