Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang said on a Monday episode of the Lex Fridman podcast that artificial general intelligence has been achieved. He made the statement in response to a question about when such technology would arrive. Huang said, I think it is now. I think we have achieved AGI. Lex Fridman, the podcast host, defined AGI as an artificial intelligence system that can essentially do a person's job. This includes starting, growing and running a successful tech company worth more than one billion dollars. Huang offered his view after Fridman asked if the development was five, ten, fifteen or twenty years away. Huang pointed to the open-source AI agent platform OpenClaw and its viral success. He noted that people are using their individual AI agents to perform various tasks. The executive said he would not be surprised if some social application became an instant success. Huang then seemed to slightly walk back the claim. He said a lot of people use such agents for a couple of months before they fade away. Huang added that the odds of one hundred thousand of those agents building Nvidia are zero percent.
