Jensen Huang says Nvidia achieved AGI, again — not that it matters

Why it matters
The lack of a standardized definition for AGI among industry leaders highlights the ongoing ambiguity in AI development and corporate marketing.

He’s right. For the supposed finish line of the AI race, there is no consensus on what artificial general intelligence means, let alone how we’ll know when we’ve actually got there, which makes achieving it equally arbitrary.
