Experts estimate timelines for AGI vary widely, reflecting uncertainty in the field.

Surveys of AI researchers show a range of opinions on when AGI might be developed. Some predict as soon as 10 to 30 years, based on accelerating hardware and algorithm improvements. Others argue it could take much longer, or may never be fully realized due to fundamental limits in how intelligence can be replicated. These differing views reflect both the complexity of the problem and the many unknowns about human cognition and consciousness.
