AGI is Closer Than You Think—And No, We’re Not Ready

Six months ago, AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) was a 2032 problem. Today? The prediction has been pulled forward to 2027, or sooner if you believe Musk.

With DeepSeek R1, OpenAI’s o3, and the latest self-improving AI models, researchers are no longer asking if AI will surpass humans in reasoning, coding, and science, it is a question of wen.

In the past years, AI has leapfrogged through intelligence levels:

• Two years ago: High school-level AI.
• Last year: Undergrad-level.
• Today: PhD-level reasoning, outperforming experts in specialized fields.
• Next? Superintelligence; an AI so powerful it will design the next AI itself.

These advances aren’t just incremental. AI is now writing, improving, and self-optimizing its own code. The top 175 programmers in the world are still human, for now. But soon, AI will surpass them.

We may have 1-5 years before AI hits escape velocity and remakes civilization in ways we can’t predict. What’s our next move? What’s yours?
