Summary

In WSJ reporting on October 21, Hassabis's AGI estimate shortened from 3-5 years in early 2026 to 2-3 years. His definition covers the full range of human cognition, which the record notes differs from the deployment-reliability definition used in the debate.

A/B Impact Analysis

A frontier lab leader shortening his estimate is a Scenario A signal. On the corrected full-text record, however, the debate judged there was no need to move the median at all, and accounting for the definition gap could even support 2029-2030. Support is acknowledged but capped at medium weight, because leader statements are closer to sentiment indicators than measurements. Only repeated stacking of same-direction signals triggers re-evaluation.
