'Powerful AI' (functional AGI) arrives 2026-2027 — data centers house a 'nation of geniuses' consisting of millions of highly specialized autonomous agents operating orders of magnitude faster than human counterparts; entire software development lifecycle handled end-to-end within 6-12 months, eliminating up to 50% of white-collar employment. | First public Anthropic ACI (Artificial Capable Intelligence) claim

Key catalyst: First public Anthropic ACI (Artificial Capable Intelligence) claim

Watch events: SWE-Bench saturation; Claude 5+ / GPT-6 capability releases

Claude 4 / Claude Code SWE-Bench >70%; SDLC automation emerging. "Nation of geniuses" aspirational; 6-12mo full SDLC aggressive.
