Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Already Here?

The quest for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—a machine capable of performing any intellectual task a human can—has been declared a distant dream by skeptics. I argue we’ve already arrived. Today’s AI systems match or surpass human performance on standardized benchmarks like IQ tests, the SAT, and the bar exam, demonstrating cognitive abilities indistinguishable from human intelligence. The missing piece? Physical embodiment.
