10.0 The AGI Race and Vague Definitions

The field is racing toward the future horizon of AGI and ASI without internalizing exactly what that means. They’ve attempted defining AGI according to capability stacks without one settled definition of what it truly is. Every expert has an opinion of when the world reaches AGI and who “won.” Most public definitions cluster around “human-level or better general intelligence across many tasks,” but they differ on whether AGI means cognitive ability, economic usefulness, autonomy, or consciousness.
