Frequently Asked Questions

Does AGI exist in 2026?
No. Current AIs are narrow AI — excellent at specific tasks but incapable of general reasoning like a human. Some experts estimate AGI could be possible by 2030.
Is AGI dangerous?
It's the central topic of AI Safety. An AGI misaligned with human values could be very dangerous. That's why Anthropic, OpenAI and DeepMind invest heavily in alignment.
