AI 2027 (2025)

Leaders from major AI companies predict artificial general intelligence (AGI) will arrive within five years, potentially exceeding the Industrial Revolution's impact. To explore this possibility concretely, researchers developed "AI 2027," a detailed scenario depicting how superhuman AI might transform the world by that year, informed by expert feedback and tabletop exercises, with both optimistic and pessimistic outcome branches. The authors emphasize this is a predictive exercise intended to spark debate and identify critical questions about AI's future, rather than a recommendation.
