Explore the possible steps

Possible steps

  1. Continued scaling plus agentic systems
  2. Benchmarks thought hard (ARC-AGI-2, HLE) cleared ahead of forecast
  3. Weak AGI (Metaculus median Sep 2027)
  4. AGI (median 2031)
THE CRUX · DECISION POINT

Alignment and governance capacity keeping pace with capability — the one fork that can move Peace either way

IF THE MAINLINE STALLS

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

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.
