Explore the possible steps
Possible steps
- Continued scaling plus agentic systems
- Benchmarks thought hard (ARC-AGI-2, HLE) cleared ahead of forecast
- Weak AGI (Metaculus median Sep 2027)
- AGI (median 2031)
Alignment and governance capacity keeping pace with capability — the one fork that can move Peace either way
A data or compute wall shifts progress to reasoning efficiency and tool use; same rung a few years later
What to watch
Metaculus AGI date; share of new scientific results with an AI-generated hypothesis; harmful autonomous incidents

New here? What the labels mean
Reported fact
A number from a named source. Check when, where and what it measures.
Model or score
A way to compare things using chosen rules. Different rules can give different scores.
Future goal or scenario
Something we hope to achieve, or imagine might happen. It is not a measured fact.
- Milestone
- An important step toward a goal.
- Indicator
- A measurement that helps us understand something.
- Dependency
- Something that may need help from something else.
- Biodiversity
- The variety of living things.
- GW
- Gigawatts: a unit of power. Capacity is what equipment can produce at its rated output.
