Chollet & Altman Fireside at YC: 'AGI Probably by Early 2030s, Around ARC-AGI 6 or 7'

François Chollet held the ARC-AGI-3 launch event at Y Combinator HQ on March 25, featuring a fireside conversation with Sam Altman on 'measuring intelligence on the path to AGI.' Chollet stated AGI is 'probably going to be by 2030, early 2030s' and that 'around that time, we're going to be releasing maybe ARC-AGI 6 or ARC-AGI 7. That's probably going to be AGI.' The pairing is notable: the creator of the hardest AI benchmark and the CEO of the company most invested in scaling sat down together and agreed on a timeline. The subtext is both men see current approaches as insufficient.
