Definitional alignment before capability alignment: a Design-Science framework for adjudicating claims about AGI
A new research paper proposes a framework called DAF-AGI to address the ambiguity surrounding the definition of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The framework includes criteria for assessing the fitness of AGI definitions and a governance audit for authorship, interest, certification, and revision authority. When applied to various measurement families and a claim that current generative systems constitute AGI, the DAF-AGI framework revealed that AGI status is dependent on the specific operationalization used, with performance-based definitions certifying current systems while others do not.

IMPACT This framework could lead to more standardized and verifiable claims about AGI, impacting research and development direction.
