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.

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).

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

The new CEO of Character.AI — the controversial AI chatbot startup currently fighting a high-profile child welfare lawsuit over the suicide of a 14-year-old user — says the company has abandoned its founding mission of shepherding forth artificial general intelligence,

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.

Artificial general intelligence will be a huge dependency for the world. When AGI has an outage, people will essentially lose their minds. Here's the inside scoop.

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

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.

The promise of AGI is said to be a major factor in AI companies like OpenAI successfully raising billions of dollars and receiving staggeringly high valuations.

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