GPT-5 is a major upgrade over GPT-4 and a significant step along our path to AGI. 2025 August 7, OpenAI, 0:54 from the start, in Introducing GPT-5, spoken by Sam Altman:
If AI researchers do eventually manage to make the leap to AGI, there is little reason to believe that the result will be a machine that simply matches human-level intelligence. 2015, Martin Ford, The Rise of the Robots, Oneworld:
Some of my friends have recently reported to me that when people outside the AI industry hear about extinction risk from Artificial General Intelligence for the first time, their reaction is “maybe we should not build AGI, then.” 2023 March 29, Eliezer Yudkowsky, “The Open Letter on AI Doesn't Go Far Enough”, in TIME, archived from the original on 26 Jul 2023:

Over time, the leadership has moved away from its original belief that openness is the best way to build beneficial AGI. 2020 February 17, Karen Hao, “The messy, secretive reality behind OpenAI’s bid to save the world”, in MIT Technology Review:
AGIs will indeed be capable of self-awareness – but that is because they will be General: they will be capable of awareness of every kind of deep and subtle thing, including their own selves. 2012 October 3, David Deutsch, “Philosophy will be the key that unlocks artificial intelligence”, in The Guardian:
Some experts believe that truly transformative implications, including artificial general intelligence (AGI) enabling AI to perform essentially all human tasks, could be around the corner. 2024 May 14, Daron Acemoglu, “The Simple Macroeconomics of AI”, in NBER WORKING PAPER SERIES, number 32487, archived from the original on 13 Jun 2024, page 1:
Yet the narrative that A.G.I. is just around the corner and will usher in “massive prosperity,” as Mr. Altman has written, is already leading companies to accrue large amounts of capital, lay claim to data and electricity and build enormous data centers that are accelerating the climate crisis. 2025 May 30, Karen Hao, “Silicon Valley Is at an Inflection Point”, in The New York Times, →ISSN, archived from the original on 30 May 2025:
(abbreviation, alt-of, countable, initialism, uncountable) Initialism of adjusted gross income.
The credit begins to phase out for adjusted gross incomes (AGIs) over $252,150 and completely phases out at AGIs over $292,150. Both the credit and AGI limits are indexed for inflation. 2025 May 14, “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill”, in United States House Committee on Ways & Means, page 14:
