Legendary roboticist Rodney Brooks breaks down why AGI is nowhere near reality, why the definition keeps shifting, and how marketing not scienc drove the term into the spotlight.
In this short segment of Automated, Rodney Brooks explains why he believes artificial general intelligence (AGI) is still centuries away and why today’s large language models shouldn’t be mistaken for general intelligence.
He also unpacks how the definition of AGI has evolved over time, why “AGI” became a branding exercise for certain research groups, and how shifting expectations have shaped public perception of AI progress.
If you want grounded, engineer-level clarity on AGI vs. actual intelligence, this is it.
