Summary
The time frame for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) may seem farther away from those who are familiar with current research and data science, given that econometric models and large dataset analyses have little to do with AGI development. A book recommendation to understand AGI development is "Superintelligence" by Nick Bostrom.
