Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang stunned the technology world Monday by declaring that artificial general intelligence — long considered the holy grail of AI — has already been achieved, telling podcaster Lex Fridman "I think it's now. I think we've achieved AGI."
The comment, made during a wide-ranging interview released March 23, 2026, immediately ignited intense discussion across the AI community, with critics questioning Huang's narrow definition of the term while supporters hailed it as a pragmatic acknowledgment of rapid progress powered by Nvidia's chips.
