AGI mid: Kurzweil 2029 path
Prediction text
AGI Phase B — outperform human experts on novel research questions. Kurzweil's 1999 prediction (computer passes Turing Test by 2029) remains stable across his 25 years of writing. If 2027 fast path fails, Kurzweil's 2029 is the next anchor. Resolution: Mar 2029.
