 In 1999, when Legg was fresh out of university, he estimated that AGI would arrive somewhere between 2025 and 2028, a prediction he maintained in the face of much mockery for three decades. In his dissertation, completed in 2008, he insisted that society could not afford to wait until AGI was technically feasible to consider its effects: “We need to be seriously working on these things now.” More recently, Legg told me it was “obvious” why the company needed people like Gabriel on staff: “If you’re making some widget, and it’s probably not going to change the world, then maybe you don’t need a moral philosopher. But if you take AGI seriously, then I can’t really see how you wouldn’t consider this sort of thing as important.”
