Demis Hassabis now says AGI could arrive by 2029, a year earlier

than his previous estimate, and told Axios we're standing in the

"foothills of the singularity."

Bold claim. But the field still can't agree on what AGI actually

means. Hassabis defines it one way, Altman another, Anthropic

avoids the term altogether. We're moving up the timeline for

something we haven't even defined.

Hassabis own AGI benchmark is the Einstein Test: train an AI with a

knowledge cutoff at 1911 and see if it independently derives

general relativity (Hassabis at India AI Impact Summit).

No current system comes close to passing

that. Meanwhile Andreessen says AGI arrived three months ago,

Altman says 2028, Musk declared we're already in the

singularity in January, and Anthropic won't even use the term.

The timeline keeps getting shorter tho.
