"What is AGI?" It is perhaps the most complex question humanity has ever asked. But paradoxically, asking it forces us to answer a much deeper question: "What does it mean to be human?"
"If I had an hour to solve a problem, I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes solving it."
For decades, computer scientists have raced through the final 5 minutes, building faster chips and larger models. They treat intelligence as a computational problem to be solved.
But intelligence is not just code. It is the intuition of a mother understanding her crying child. It is the wit of a writer crafting a metaphor. It is the hesitation we feel before making a difficult choice.
This is why the definition of AGI cannot be left solely to engineers in a lab. If AGI is to mirror human intelligence, the reflection must come from all of humanity, not just a select few.
The AGI INDEX is where we reclaim our "55 minutes." It is a place for the artist, the teacher, the parent, and the philosopher to stand alongside the engineer. Together, we are not just measuring a machine; we are mapping the boundaries of our own humanity.
Ready to define it together? What does your vision of the 'next intelligence' look like?
The AGI Index is shaped by the world, not by a closed group of experts. Every step is designed to let humanity collectively define — and measure — the next intelligence.
If you believe a particular ability reflects real intelligence, you can submit it as a question for the AGI Index. No technical background needed — only human experience.
Every proposed question goes through community voting. A question becomes an official Index question if it receives 50% or more "suitable" votes and at least 10 total votes.
For each question, users vote based on current major AI systems (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, etc.). Vote "Achieved" if at least one major AI can do it, "Not Yet" if none can reliably do it today.
Among official Index questions, if 50% or more votes say "Achieved," that question is classified as Achieved.

Join our Discord community. AIGO, our community manager, is there to help you navigate the definitions of intelligence.
Ask AIGO on DiscordBuilding a fair and meaningful AGI benchmark isn't something any single group should do alone. We welcome AI labs, companies, researchers, and communities who want to contribute—not as competitors, but as collaborators.
Whether you can offer data, compute, technical insight, or simply thoughtful review, your participation helps make the AGI Index more balanced, transparent, and useful for everyone.
The AGI Index is, and will remain, a neutral and community-driven project.
