True AGI arrives 2030-2035 (5-10 years from 2026) based on advanced 'world model systems' — current LLM architecture insufficient for generalized autonomy due to lack of temporal consistency and deep reasoning; world models inherently understand/simulate/predict complex physics of material world; within bio-sensing + molecular biology, autonomous systems will rapidly simulate protein folding, chemical interactions, climate dynamics with absolute precision, solving intractable problems before generalized superintelligence. | Next DeepMind world-model benchmark release
Key catalyst: Next DeepMind world-model benchmark release
Watch events: DeepMind world-model releases; Genie 4, Veo 3
Resolution evidence
Hassabis 2030-2035 framing consistent with 2024 Nobel interview; DeepMind Genie 3, Veo, Gemini world-modeling progress.
Predictor: Demis Hassabis
Calibration plot (stated vs observed)
Evidence about this node from Demis Hassabis is multiplied by κ in /api/intake. Lower κ = less weight; floors at 0.10 (effectively silenced) and caps at 1.00 (full weight).
Reference class: agi_breakthrough_5y
Major capability discontinuity (e.g. AGI by named target year, 5-year horizon)
Tetlock-style outside view: at TRF=1 (just predicted), outside view dominates (w_in=0.3). At TRF=0 (deadline), inside view dominates (w_in=1.0). The blend regularizes overconfident inside views toward the historical base rate.
