Jeff, can you shed more light on how Chinese AI stakeholders view the term AGI? CSET has a new report out, "Wuhan's AI Development: China's Alternative Springboard to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)."
In my (admittedly limited) interactions, I find that the U.S. use of AGI is confusing to my Chinese Track II counterparts. They often refer to Generalized Artificial Intelligence (通用人工智能?), as opposed to Artificial General Intelligence (other than leaders within DeepSeek, who have used some variation of AGI).
Is this a distinction without a difference, or a distinction with a non-trivial difference? Thanks.
I think it’s an important point. Two quick things. First - I don’t think the US side has a coherent view of what AGI means either (see Arvind and Sayash’s recent post on this in their AI snake oil substack). Second, in this AI era article, the authors just use the term AGI, there’s no Chinese characters.

Enjoyed it was happy to see Bytedance as we covered him in Beijing as the Wealthiest in the City.
