We predict that the impact of superhuman AI over the next decade will be enormous, exceeding that of the Industrial Revolution.

AI 2027 is a detailed forecast scenario predicting rapid progress in the automation of coding and AI research, followed by AGI. It predicts that fully autonomous AI agents will be better than humans at “everything” around the end of 2027.

AI 2027 released its first forecasts on April 3, 2025. AI 2027 is run by the AI Futures Project.

In brief, it outlines two possible outcomes, “slowdown” or “race,” starting this year, 2025. By early 2026, we might see AI-driven R&D automation boosting algorithmic progress by over 50%, showcasing AI’s potential to transform scientific discovery.

This is an interesting read. It offers a vivid, quantitative narrative that moves beyond vague forecasts to detailed computing and alignment milestones, a relatively clear depiction of the near future of Artificial Intelligence (AI),¹ and eventually, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).²
