But I didn\u2019t arrive at these views as a starry-eyed futurist, an investor hyping my A.I. portfolio or a guy who took too many magic mushrooms and watched \u201cTerminator 2.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I arrived at them as a journalist who has spent a lot of time talking to the engineers building powerful A.I. systems, the investors funding it and the researchers studying its effects. And I\u2019ve come to believe that what\u2019s happening in A.I. right now is bigger than most people understand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In San Francisco, where I\u2019m based, the idea of A.G.I. isn\u2019t fringe or exotic. People here <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/polynoamial\/status\/1899658588626579627\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">talk about<\/a> \u201cfeeling the A.G.I.,\u201d and building smarter-than-human A.I. systems has become the explicit goal of some of Silicon Valley\u2019s biggest companies. Every week, I meet engineers and entrepreneurs working on A.I. who tell me that change \u2014 big change, world-shaking change, the kind of transformation we\u2019ve never seen before \u2014 is just around the corner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOver the past year or two, what used to be called \u2018short timelines\u2019 (thinking that A.G.I. would probably be built this decade) has become a near-consensus,\u201d Miles Brundage, an independent A.I. policy researcher who left OpenAI last year, told me recently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Outside the Bay Area, few people have even heard of A.G.I., let alone started planning for it. And in my industry, journalists who take A.I. progress seriously still risk getting mocked as <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/defector.com\/not-enough-people-are-taking-the-wallet-inspector-seriously\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">gullible dupes<\/a> or <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/garymarcus.substack.com\/p\/ezra-kleins-new-take-on-agi-and-why\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">industry shills<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Honestly, I get the reaction. Even though we now have A.I. systems <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/09\/science\/nobel-prize-chemistry.html\" title=\"\">contributing to Nobel Prize-winning breakthroughs<\/a>, and even though <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/02\/20\/openai-tops-400-million-users-despite-deepseeks-emergence.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">400 million people a week<\/a> are using ChatGPT, a lot of the A.I. that people encounter in their daily lives is a nuisance. I sympathize with people who see <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/06\/11\/style\/ai-search-slop.html\" title=\"\">A.I. slop<\/a> plastered all over their Facebook feeds, or have a clumsy interaction with a customer service chatbot and think: <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">This <\/em>is what\u2019s going to take over the world?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I used to scoff at the idea, too. But I\u2019ve come to believe that I was wrong. A few things have persuaded me to take A.I. progress more seriously.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-15h6bi9 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-4a4b7b6a\"><span>The insiders are alarmed.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The most disorienting thing about today\u2019s A.I. industry is that the people closest to the technology \u2014 the employees and executives of the leading A.I. labs \u2014 tend to be the most worried about how fast it\u2019s improving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This is quite unusual. Back in 2010, when I was covering the rise of social media, nobody inside Twitter, Foursquare or Pinterest was warning that their apps could cause societal chaos. Mark Zuckerberg wasn\u2019t testing Facebook to find evidence that it could be used to create novel bioweapons, or carry out autonomous cyberattacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But today, the people with the best information about A.I. progress \u2014 the people building powerful A.I., who have access to more-advanced systems than the general public sees \u2014 are telling us that big change is near. The leading A.I. companies are <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/safety\/how-we-think-about-safety-alignment\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">actively preparing<\/a> for A.G.I.\u2019s arrival, and are studying potentially scary properties of their models, such as whether they\u2019re capable of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/12\/13\/ai-reasoning-models-scheme-skills\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">scheming<\/a> and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/chain-of-thought-monitoring\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">deception<\/a>, in anticipation of their becoming more capable and autonomous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.samaltman.com\/three-observations\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">written<\/a> that \u201csystems that start to point to A.G.I. are coming into view.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Demis Hassabis, the chief executive of Google DeepMind, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bigtechnology.com\/p\/google-deepmind-ceo-demis-hassabis\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">has said<\/a> A.G.I. is probably \u201cthree to five years away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic (who doesn\u2019t like the term A.G.I. but agrees with the general principle), <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/28\/podcasts\/hardfork-anthropic-dario-amodei.html\" title=\"\">told me last month<\/a> that he believed we were a year or two away from having \u201ca very large number of A.I. systems that are much smarter than humans at almost everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Maybe we should discount these predictions. After all, A.I. executives stand to profit from inflated A.G.I. hype, and might have incentives to exaggerate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But lots of independent experts \u2014 including <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/05\/01\/technology\/ai-google-chatbot-engineer-quits-hinton.html\" title=\"\">Geoffrey Hinton<\/a> and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/yoshuabengio.org\/2024\/07\/09\/reasoning-through-arguments-against-taking-ai-safety-seriously\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Yoshua Bengio<\/a>, two of the world\u2019s most influential A.I. researchers, and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/04\/opinion\/ezra-klein-podcast-ben-buchanan.html\" title=\"\">Ben Buchanan<\/a>, who was the Biden administration\u2019s top A.I. expert \u2014 are saying similar things.

But even if you ignore everyone who works at A.I. companies, or has a vested stake in the outcome, there are still enough credible independent voices with short A.G.I. timelines that we should take them seriously.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-15h6bi9 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-4d0bbe20\"><span>The A.I. models keep getting better.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">To me, just as persuasive as expert opinion is the evidence that today\u2019s A.I. systems are improving quickly, in ways that are fairly obvious to anyone who uses them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 2022, when OpenAI released ChatGPT, the leading A.I. models struggled with basic arithmetic, frequently failed at complex reasoning problems and often \u201challucinated,\u201d or made up nonexistent facts. Chatbots from that era could do impressive things with the right prompting, but you\u2019d never use one for anything critically important.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Today\u2019s A.I. models are much better. Now, specialized models are putting up <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/deepmind.google\/discover\/blog\/ai-solves-imo-problems-at-silver-medal-level\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">medalist-level scores<\/a> on the International Math Olympiad, and general-purpose models have gotten so good at complex problem solving that we\u2019ve had to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/23\/technology\/ai-test-humanitys-last-exam.html\" title=\"\">create new, harder tests<\/a> to measure their capabilities. Hallucinations and factual mistakes still happen, but they\u2019re rarer on newer models. And many businesses now trust A.I. models enough to build them into core, customer-facing functions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">(The New York Times has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/12\/27\/business\/media\/new-york-times-open-ai-microsoft-lawsuit.html\" title=\"\">sued<\/a> OpenAI and its partner, Microsoft, accusing them of copyright infringement of news content related to A.I. systems. OpenAI and Microsoft have denied the claims.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some of the improvement is a function of scale. In A.I., bigger models, trained using more data and processing power, tend to produce better results, and today\u2019s leading models are significantly bigger than their predecessors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But it also stems from breakthroughs that A.I. researchers have made in recent years \u2014 most notably, the advent of \u201creasoning\u201d models, which are built to take an additional computational step before giving a response.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Reasoning models, which include OpenAI\u2019s o1 and DeepSeek\u2019s R1, are trained to work through complex problems, and are built using reinforcement learning \u2014 a technique that was used to teach A.I. to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/deepmind.google\/research\/breakthroughs\/alphago\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">play the board game Go<\/a> at a superhuman level. They appear to be succeeding at things that tripped up previous models. (Just one example: GPT-4o, a standard model released by OpenAI, scored 9 percent on AIME 2024, a set of extremely hard competition math problems; o1, a reasoning model that OpenAI <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/learning-to-reason-with-llms\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">released<\/a> several months later, scored 74 percent on the same test.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As these tools improve, they are becoming useful for many kinds of white-collar knowledge work. My colleague Ezra Klein <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/04\/opinion\/ezra-klein-podcast-ben-buchanan.html\" title=\"\">recently wrote<\/a> that the outputs of ChatGPT\u2019s Deep Research, a premium feature that produces complex analytical briefs, were \u201cat least the median\u201d of the human researchers he\u2019d worked with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I\u2019ve also found many uses for A.I. tools in my work. I don\u2019t use A.I. to write my columns, but I use it for lots of other things \u2014 preparing for interviews, summarizing research papers, building <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/27\/technology\/personaltech\/vibecoding-ai-software-programming.html\" title=\"\">personalized apps<\/a> to help me with administrative tasks. None of this was possible a few years ago. And I find it implausible that anyone who uses these systems regularly for serious work could conclude that they\u2019ve hit a plateau.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If you really want to grasp how much better A.I. has gotten recently, talk to a programmer. A year or two ago, A.I. coding tools existed, but were aimed more at speeding up human coders than at replacing them. Today, software engineers tell me that A.I. does most of the actual coding for them, and that they increasingly feel that their job is to supervise the A.I. systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Jared Friedman, a partner at Y Combinator, a start-up accelerator, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/03\/06\/a-quarter-of-startups-in-ycs-current-cohort-have-codebases-that-are-almost-entirely-ai-generated\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">recently said<\/a> a quarter of the accelerator\u2019s current batch of start-ups were using A.I. to write nearly all their code.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cA year ago, they would\u2019ve built their product from scratch \u2014 but now 95 percent of it is built by an A.I.,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-15h6bi9 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-5116658\"><span>Overpreparing is better than underpreparing.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the spirit of epistemic humility, I should say that I, and many others, could be wrong about our timelines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-11\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Maybe A.I. progress will hit a bottleneck we weren\u2019t expecting \u2014 an energy shortage that prevents A.I. companies from building bigger data centers, or limited access to the powerful chips used to train A.I. models. Maybe today\u2019s model architectures and training techniques can\u2019t take us all the way to A.G.I., and more breakthroughs are needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But even if A.G.I. arrives a decade later than I expect \u2014 in 2036, rather than 2026 \u2014 I believe we should start preparing for it now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Most of the advice I\u2019ve heard for how institutions should prepare for A.G.I. boils down to things we should be doing anyway: modernizing our energy infrastructure, hardening our cybersecurity defenses, speeding up the approval pipeline for A.I.-designed drugs, writing regulations to prevent the most serious A.I. harms, teaching A.I. literacy in schools and prioritizing social and emotional development over soon-to-be-obsolete technical skills. These are all sensible ideas, with or without A.G.I.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some tech leaders worry that premature fears about A.G.I. will cause us to regulate A.I. too aggressively. But the Trump administration has signaled that it wants to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/11\/world\/europe\/vance-speech-paris-ai-summit.html\" title=\"\">speed up A.I. development<\/a>, not slow it down. And enough money is being spent to create the next generation of A.I. models \u2014 hundreds of billions of dollars, with more on the way \u2014 that it seems unlikely that leading A.I. companies will pump the brakes voluntarily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I don\u2019t worry about individuals overpreparing for A.G.I., either. A bigger risk, I think, is that most people won\u2019t realize that powerful A.I. is here until it\u2019s staring them in the face \u2014 eliminating their job, ensnaring them in a scam, harming them or someone they love. This is, roughly, what happened during the social media era, when we failed to recognize the risks of tools like Facebook and Twitter until they were too big and entrenched to change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-12\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That\u2019s why I believe in taking the possibility of A.G.I. seriously now, even if we don\u2019t know exactly when it will arrive or precisely what form it will take.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If we\u2019re in denial \u2014 or if we\u2019re simply not paying attention \u2014 we could lose the chance to shape this technology when it matters most.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
