Who's working on AGI?

If you estimate that you will live until 2040, the most disruptive and impactful thing you will most likely witness during your lifetime is AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) — or something very similar to AGI.

For that reason, I have — for years — wanted to shift my career towards organizations that either directly or indirectly work on AGI. One of the first and most crucial steps in such a career pivot is to understand who is working on AGI.

Below is a list of:

  1. organizations that directly work on AGI.
  2. organizations that indirectly work on AGI.

These lists are not exhaustive. If you would like to suggest an edit, please email .

Organizations working directly on AGI

These are organizations that have either explicitly stated that they work on AGI or are working on products and/or projects that resemble early versions of AGI.

Where applicable, I have listed products from these organizations that resemble early versions of AGI. I've called these products "AGI MVPs" (AGI minimum viable products).

Organizations contributing indirectly to AGI

These are organizations that are not explicitly working on AGI but are indirectly contributing to the development of technologies necessary for AGI.
