If you stick with the original definition \u2014 aligned with what people genuinely imagine AGI to be \u2014 we remain very, very far away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d love to be your preferred source for news.<\/p>\n<p>Please add us to your preferred sources list so our news, data and interviews show up in your feed. Thanks!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PYMNTS reported in April 2024 that AGI had captured the attention of researchers, tech enthusiasts and media alike, though the field of AGI research remained in its early stages and its progress had been slower than some proponents had suggested.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">Advertisement: Scroll to Continue<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to that report, some experts argued that the complexity of the human brain and the nature of intelligence itself may pose insurmountable challenges to creating truly human-like AI, while others pointed to the lack of a clear roadmap for AGI development and the difficulty in defining and measuring progress toward this goal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elon Musk said in January that AGI will be achieved this year. He added: \u201cI\u2019m confident by 2030, AI will exceed the intelligence of all humans combined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers from AI Impacts and the universities of Oxford and Bonn published a study in October 2025 saying that AI experts&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/artificial-intelligence-2\/2026\/ai-pioneer-andrew-ng-expects-decades-long-wait-for-agi\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI Pioneer Andrew Ng Expects Decades-Long Wait For AGI https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/artificial-intelligence-2\/2026\/ai-pioneer-andrew-ng-expects-decades-long-wait-for-agi\/ Publish Date: 2026-02-27 14:20:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":218164,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.pymnts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/artificial-general-intelligence-AGI.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[22],"class_list":["post-218163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-general-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218163"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218163"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218163\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":218165,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218163\/revisions\/218165"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
