Part of the When will AGI be confirmed? topic →
This market asks whether AGI will be confirmed by end of 2028, requiring a frontier lab's public claim of systems matching expert human performance across substantially all economically valuable tasks, corroborated within 90 days by at least two of: Stanford HAI AI Index, peer-reviewed Nature/Science assessment, or agreement from a second frontier lab's leadership. Expert timelines have shortened considerably - Metaculus forecasters predict 50% probability by 2031, and DeepMind's CEO stated in June 2026 that 2029 now looks plausible. The February 2026 AI safety leaders survey found 22% assign ≥50% probability by 2030. The quote reflects the high verification threshold and current expert consensus placing most probability mass in the 2027-2033 window.
DeepMind CEO says society has only a few years to prepare for AGI arrival, marking a shift from his previous 'within this decade' framing to a more specific timeline.
February 2026 survey of 59 AI safety leaders found median 25% AGI by 2030, 50% by 2033, with 22% assigning ≥50% probability by 2030.
Prediction market forecasters have dramatically shortened AGI timelines since 2020, from 50 years to 5 years median. Current: 25% probability by 2027, 50% by 2031.
