AGI claimed, definitions disputed: the race to measure general intelligence

Fortune notes Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s claim that AGI has been achieved, a statement that collides with a growing push to define and quantify general intelligence. Recent work from Google DeepMind and Hendrycks–Bengio proposes a scientific framework (a 10-facet cognitive taxonomy) to evaluate AI across domains and compare to well-educated adults, highlighting a current “jagged” profile where models excel in some areas but lag in others. Other benchmarks like ARC-AGI and debates dating back to Turing illustrate how hard it is to define intelligence, while tech giants push AGI branding for marketing and financial aims (OpenAI/Microsoft contracts referencing profit thresholds) even as leaders like Altman caution that AGI is a sloppy term. Overall, experts agree there is no universal consensus on what AGI means or how to measure it, despite ongoing progress and hype in the field.
