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,

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.

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.

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.

The AI market is increasingly competitive, with tech companies in a race to achieve AGI. OpenAI and Meta are among the biggest companies openly pushing the development of AGI, the latter assembling a taskforce for what it is calling "personal superintelligence", which CEO Mark Zuckerberg said was "now in sight".

We're all probably feeling a little anxious about AI. It's horrible for the environment, is used as an excuse to fire workers, floods the internet with misinformation and slop, entrenches government surveillance,

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.
