Predicting the exact moment when AI, 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 AI, 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 OpenAI, hint at decades (2030s-2050s), while optimists (or alarmists) say it could be sooner, maybe even by 2030, if breakthroughs accelerate. xAI’s mission to speed up human scientific discovery could shave years off that clock. 0 reply
