Explore the critical pathways and challenges surrounding artificial general intelligence (AGI) in this 32-minute conference talk from the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026. Examine how advances in scaling, multimodal systems, and agentic models are converging to create a credible pathway to AGI, while simultaneously placing unprecedented demands on compute, data, and energy resources. Discover which technological breakthroughs matter most on the road to AGI and understand the fundamental problems that must be solved before AGI becomes reality. Learn from leading experts Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei, and Zanny Minton Beddoes as they discuss the implications of AGI development and the preparations needed for a post-AGI world. Gain insights into the transparency, consistency, and accountability principles that will be crucial for building trust in AGI systems, and understand how global leaders, governments, international organizations, and civil society must collaborate to shape the future of artificial intelligence.
