What is AGI? Nobody agrees, and it’s tearing Microsoft and OpenAI apart.

Confusion surrounds the definition of artificial general intelligence (AGI), with varying benchmarks used by tech companies and researchers. This lack of consensus complicates AI development, regulation, and public understanding. Some experts suggest abandoning the term AGI in favor of specific capability metrics. Despite industry hype, most AI researchers believe AGI is not imminent using current approaches. The definitional ambiguity impacts contracts, investments, and policy decisions.
