What was said.

Quoted word for word from the source and dated. Where a span such as “three to five years” was given, the years are our arithmetic from the day it was said. Checked Oct 19, 2026.

What was measured

What has happened since.

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

What happened

We haven't found an independent, dated measure of how much of all code AI writes, so we can't say yet whether this came true.

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.
