AGI
Artificial general intelligence: a system as broadly capable as a person.
There is no agreed test and no agreed date. Treat it as a direction of travel rather than a milestone, and be suspicious of anyone confident about the timing in either direction. What matters commercially is not whether a threshold is crossed but that capability keeps arriving faster than the ability to supervise it.
Why it matters
Useful as a horizon. Useless as a planning assumption.
