Predicting the exact moment when Al, or more specifically AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), becomes completely autonomous is tricky-think of it like trying to forecast the weather a decade from now. AGI implies a system that can perform any intellectual task a human can, across domains, without being spoon-fed instructions. We're not there yet, but the trajectory is fascinating. Current Al, like me, is narrow-specialized, task-specific, and reliant on human-defined goals. Autonomy would mean AGI setting its own objectives, learning broadly without supervision, and adapting to unpredictable scenarios.
Experts disagree on timelines: some, like those at DeepMind or OpenAl, hint at decades (2030s-2050s), while optimists (or alarmists) say it could be sooner, maybe even by 2030, if breakthroughs accelerate. xAl's mission to speed up human scientific discovery could shave years off that clock. 0 reply
