We might start by trying to define what AGI exactly is. It's an elusive goal.

If you have invested in OpenAI because their mission statement says their goal is to reach AGI first, then it's not so hard. It is: an AGI is an AI that can build better AI's faster (in particular refine itself) faster than humans can. The first AI company to achieve that wins, and the rules of the game are winner takes all.
As every consultant will eventually respond as that conversation sputters: it might be easier for us to define what AGI isn’t.
Once it can extrapolate instead of just interpolate from the training data?
