Google's Chollet Plans ARC-4 by 2027, Predicts AGI by 2030
The creator of a major AI benchmark lays out the final roadmap to AGI.
Deep Dive
Google DeepMind researcher François Chollet announced the ARC-4 benchmark is in development for an early 2027 release, with ARC-5 also planned. He stated the final benchmark in the series will likely be ARC-6 or ARC-7. The goal is to create tests until it's impossible to propose a task humans can do that AI cannot, with Chollet predicting this point—effectively AGI—will arrive around the year 2030.
