Stephen Ibaraki argues that AGI isn’t a single “switch moment,” but a spectrum we’re already moving through—where the definition of “general” keeps shifting as systems improve. He also weighs the risks and upsides of AI at scale, landing on an optimistic view: convergence across breakthrough technologies may push us toward greater abundance—if leaders stay adaptive and informed. He closes with a practical leadership takeaway on how to prepare for what’s next.

Takeways:
• AGI may be a spectrum, not a headline moment: capabilities evolve continuously, and the benchmark keeps moving.
• Convergence—not one single breakthrough—can be the real force multiplier.
• The leadership edge is adaptability: stay curious, run experiments, and keep pace with change.
