NVIDIA CEO Claims AGI Has Been Achieved

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has declared that humanity has reached general artificial intelligence (AGI). This statement was made in the latest episode of Lex Fridman's podcast, recorded recently in San Francisco and released in recent days.

Huang didn't describe a superintelligence that replaces everything at once. Instead, he used a more practical definition, linking the milestone to the current ability of AIs to autonomously perform complete tasks, like creating web services or managing entire workflows. "I think it’s now. I think we’ve achieved AGI," he stated during the conversation.

The clip took on a life of its own on social media. A post on X featuring his statement has already surpassed 19,000 views since this morning, generating hundreds of comments divided between those celebrating the advancement and those who believe there's still a long way to go.

The statement carries extra weight as it comes shortly after the launch of NemoClaw by NVIDIA on March 16, during the GTC. This is an enterprise-grade, secure version of the open-source platform OpenClaw, which has exploded in popularity in recent months with autonomous agents running independently.

In practice, Huang sees these agents as the operating system of the new AI era. Part of the technical community agrees that with this agentic vision, AGI is already here. Others, however, argue that the definition is still too flexible and lacks consistent capabilities for long and complex tasks.

What matters for those working in technology is the immediate impact. Agents that already cost pennies per task and execute complete jobs are changing the daily lives of developers and professionals who need to orchestrate automations.

NVIDIA is now accelerating in this direction. The company plans to launch more integrations and optimizations for NemoClaw in the coming weeks, focusing on security and scalability for large-scale corporate use.
