Peter Norvig is a prominent AI researcher whose 2017 statement with Google's Blaise Agüera y Arcas claimed that "the most important parts of AGI have already been achieved by the current generation of advanced AI systems"—a position cited in the course readings to exemplify the recent pivot among major AI proponents toward large language models as a pathway to artificial general intelligence. His assertion helps frame one side of the contemporary debate about whether existing LLM-based systems constitute meaningful progress toward AGI, serving as a touchstone for the readings' discussion of how leading researchers have repositioned their AGI ambitions around transformer-based models rather than earlier methodologies.

1. Introduction Recent years have seen a resurgence of the goal to build artificial general intelligence (AGI), a system defined differently by the various people and organizations that seek to build it. For instance, OpenAI defines AGI as …Recently, however, there has been a proliferation of organizations aiming to build AGI and asserting that their products are close to achieving it (Bubeck, et al., 2023; Cuthbertson, 2022). While a number of researchers have debated whether…2017), the most resourced AGI proponents pivoted to large language model (LLM) based systems, with Google VP Blaise Agüera y Arcas and prominent AI researcher Peter Norvig writing “the most important parts of AGI have already been achieved …
