How Do We Measure Progress Toward AGI? DeepMind Proposes New Cognitive Framework

In March 2026, Google DeepMind introduced a novel cognitive framework designed to measure progress toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This research seeks a more systematic and objective approach to evaluating advancements in AGI development.

Rather than relying on a single metric, this framework aims to comprehensively assess a range of cognitive abilities, providing a multi-faceted evaluation of how AI systems are approaching human-level intelligence. DeepMind’s initiative could mark a significant milestone in the next phase of AGI research.
