What Is AGI? OpenAI, Anthropic Race for Artificial General Intelligence

Leading AI developers including OpenAI and Anthropic are competing to achieve artificial general intelligence, a theoretical milestone where software matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities across various tasks. While firms view this advancement as a potential catalyst for massive economic and societal transformation, there is currently no industry consensus on how to define or measure this capability. This lack of a shared standard makes it difficult to verify claims of progress or predict when such systems might fundamentally reshape the labor market and global infrastructure.
