AGI Debate Intensifies Amidst Mixed Progress and Geopolitical Rivalry

Leading AI researchers and tech CEOs remain deeply divided on the definition, timeline, and even the utility of the term Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Despite significant investment and the launch of new models like OpenAI's GPT-5 and xAI's Grok 5, current AI systems still exhibit "jagged intelligence" and struggle with human-like reasoning and continuous learning.
The global AI race sees the U.S. prioritizing AGI breakthroughs, while China focuses on pragmatic, industry-specific applications, intensifying geopolitical competition and chip export controls.
Emerging decentralized AI ecosystems, such as the .AGI domain and blockchain-based marketplaces, aim to democratize AGI development and offer alternatives to centralized tech giants.
Concerns about AI's societal impact, including job displacement, ethical alignment, and a fierce "talent war" for top researchers, are escalating.
