Issue AGI and ASI are treated as directionally certain but undated

Summary

KPMG contrasts today's AI with what artificial general intelligence and superintelligence may bring. Current systems are powerful but narrow, excelling at well-defined tasks within bounded contexts and reacting rather than reflecting. AGI is expected to master any intellectual task a human can, transferring knowledge across domains and learning with autonomy. ASI would go further, potentially surpassing the best human cognition in every meaningful domain, from scientific reasoning to moral judgment. The report states that while the timeline remains uncertain, the direction is not, since systems are becoming more autonomous, transferable, and capable of self-improvement.
