AGI Is Closer Than We Think: Google And OpenAI Are Preparing!

The future is coming faster than expected! Google DeepMind announced on April 2, 2025 that AGI - AI systems with human-like cognitive abilities - could become a reality “within the next few years”.

In its new safety concept, DeepMind addresses four key risk areas: Misuse, misalignment, accidents and structural risks. With the newly established AGI Safety Council, led by co-founder Shane Legg, and partnerships with organizations such as Apollo and Redwood Research, responsible development is being driven forward.

At the same time, OpenAI has introduced “PaperBench”, a milestone for measuring AGI capabilities. This benchmark tests whether AI agents can independently replicate research - even the most advanced models so far only achieve 21% of human performance.

However, one thing is very clear: AGI is getting closer and closer and all major AI companies are preparing for it. Not only users but society as a whole should feel safe - because the transformative power of AGI is unmeasured.
