What was measured

Nothing to check yet.

Independent measures and reporting only, with their sources. One test never settles a prediction about AGI, and none measures AGI itself.

Its date hasn't come yet. Until it does, the tests on Superintelligence watch show how far the best AI has got. See what the tests measure.

What the words mean. People define AGI and superintelligence very differently, and the definition decides whether a prediction came true. See how each lab and researcher defines them, or the plain meanings in our glossary.
