How Close Are Today’s AI Models to AGI—And to Self-Improving into Superintelligence?
SMRTR summary
Today's AI models can already write and refine code independently, raising questions about proximity to artificial general intelligence and potential "intelligence explosion" scenarios where systems rapidly self-improve. While current AI lacks the flexible reasoning needed for true autonomous self-improvement, companies like OpenAI test systems that can sustain complex tasks for hours, leading some experts to predict superintelligence within years.
