Yup. We don't even have a good test for knowing AGI.

Frankly, we don't even know if we are AI or if everything is predestined.

We don't know if true randomness exists.

Currently no AI system can define its own goals. I'd like to know how Open AI would solve that. To me, Open AI seems like it will just end up as a giant open sourced machine learning toolset. That's great but not the initially stated goal, and they risk souring investors on future AI tech that actually has merit when they fail to achieve AGI.

Very true and I think significantly overlooked.

The closest thing I have ever found was the Universal Anytime Intelligence Test [1]

That's a huge amount of links and information.

Can you summarize?

Not really - it's worth reading the whole thing.

Best I can do is state that the test basically has multiple different environments with different rules that are independent of how capable or fast they are.
