Nvidia CEO Says AGI Is Achieved for Many Tasks, Calls Milestone Senseless

Summary
On Nvidia’s earnings call, Jensen Huang said the company has already achieved AGI “for many tasks,” then argued the milestone itself is “senseless.”
Huang offered no fixed benchmark, instead pointing to AI agents that can learn skills recursively and stressing usefulness over labels—systems doing productive work and generating profitable tokens.
He has made the claim before: on Lex Fridman’s podcast in March, Huang said “we’ve achieved AGI,” while also conceding the odds of 100,000 agents building Nvidia are “zero percent.”
The remark lands in a field with no agreed AGI definition, where OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and Google DeepMind all use competing terms or thresholds.
