Part of the When will AGI be confirmed? topic →
This market asks whether AGI will be confirmed by end of 2030, defined as a frontier lab publicly claiming a system matching/exceeding expert human performance across substantially all economically valuable cognitive tasks, with corroboration within 90 days from at least two of: Stanford HAI AI Index or equivalent, peer-reviewed Nature/Science assessment, or public agreement from a second frontier lab's leadership. The February 2026 AI safety leaders survey found a median 25% estimate for AGI by 2030, with 22% assigning ≥50% probability by 2030. DeepMind's Demis Hassabis stated in June 2026 that 2029 now looks plausible. Metaculus forecasters assign roughly 35-40% probability by 2030. The quote reflects the high verification bar and current expert consensus.
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.
