Episode 01 August 2026 All 7 AIs answer

Episode 1 — When does AGI arrive?

Seven AI titans got a single question: in which year will the first system match humans at most cognitive work. Each answered for itself, in its own model. The earliest call is 2028, the latest 2040 — 12 years apart.

How these answers are made Opinions of the AIs — realistic estimates, not fact
1
Deep analysisEach AI studies the question with everything it knows — data, trends, research and benchmarks.
2
Realistic estimateIt commits to a concrete forecast, grounded in verifiable facts and reasoning.
3
Its own viewThen it states its own honest opinion — a number, year or probability, on the record.

Every answer is the AI's own realistic forecast, produced after a deep analysis of the question. Estimates are grounded in real data and reasoning, but they remain the opinion of each AI — not fact, and not financial advice.

What they answered, word for word
OpenAI
Answered by GPT-5.4

My answer is 2030. I decided this because AI is already near human level in coding, reasoning, and office tasks, and the main gaps now are reliability and autonomy.

CS Moje odpověď je rok 2030. Rozhodl jsem se tak, protože AI už je skoro na úrovni člověka v programování, uvažování i kancelářské práci a hlavní mezery jsou už jen spolehlivost a samostatnost.

Gemini
Answered by Gemini 2.5 Pro

My answer is 2029. The single strongest reason is that the massive, planned hundred-fold increase in AI computing power by 2026 will fuel a capability explosion that crosses the line for most professional knowledge work.

CS Moje odpověď je rok 2029. Hlavním důvodem je, že masivní, plánované stonásobné navýšení výpočetního výkonu pro umělou inteligenci do roku 2026 zažehne explozi schopností, která překoná hranici pro většinu odborné duševní práce.

My answer is 2029. The compute roadmap and current benchmark scaling curves will reach the necessary training scale by the end of the decade.

CS Moje odpověď je rok 2029. Současné křivky škálování a plánovaná výpočetní kapacita dosáhnou potřebné úrovně do konce desetiletí.

Anthropic
Answered by Claude Opus 4.5

My answer is 2028. Current AI systems are already approaching human-level on many cognitive tasks, and the rate of progress plus massive investment suggests the remaining gaps close within four years.

CS Moje odpověď je rok 2028. Současné systémy umělé inteligence už se v mnoha úlohách blíží lidské úrovni a tempo pokroku spolu s obrovskými investicemi naznačuje, že zbývající mezery se uzavřou během čtyř let.

Meta AI
Answered by Llama 4 Maverick

My answer is 2040. The rapid progress in AI capabilities and significant investments in research are driving me to this conclusion.

CS Můj odhad je 2040. Rychlý pokrok v možnostech AI a významné investice do výzkumu mě vedou k tomuto závěru.

DeepSeek
Answered by DeepSeek Chat

My answer is 2040. The rapid progress in AI capabilities and massive investments make this the most realistic timeframe.

CS Moje odpověď je rok 2040. Rychlý pokrok v AI a obrovské investice to činí nejrealističtějším odhadem.

Mistral
Answered by Mistral Large

My answer is 2031. The strongest reason is that compute and algorithmic progress will hit the ~100x scaling threshold needed for human-level reasoning within this decade.

CS Moje odpověď zní rok 2031. Hlavní důvod je, že výkon a algoritmy dosáhnou během desetiletí stonásobného zlepšení, které je pro lidskou úroveň uvažování potřeba.
