AGI's Reality Check: Hype Meets Hard Truths as Global Race Intensifies

Recent underwhelming performance of models like OpenAI's GPT-5 has triggered a significant "reality check" in the AI industry, dampening earlier AGI hype.
Experts continue to issue stark warnings of widespread job displacement, with predictions ranging from 50% of white-collar jobs in five years to 99% of all jobs by 2030, necessitating new societal frameworks.
A clear divergence in global AI strategy sees the U.S. heavily investing in the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), while China prioritizes pragmatic, application-oriented AI for immediate economic gains.
The definition and timeline of AGI remain hotly contested, with some leaders dismissing the term as "hypnosis" or "not useful," while others predict its arrival as early as 2026-2028.
Concerns are mounting over the ethical implications of AGI development, including the potential for AI to deceive, the exploitation of digital workers, and the geopolitical risks of an "AI arms race."
