The Race to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): A Comparative Analysis of Leading Contenders, Research Paradigms, and Safety Strategies (2024‑2026)

Sergei Voronin

The article presents a fact-checked comparative analysis of the race toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) over the period from 2024 through the first half of 2026. The landscape of key contenders - industry leaders, specialized laboratories, research institutes, and national programs - is systematized on the basis of primary sources, with a consistent distinction between figures reported by the developers themselves (self-reported) and independently verified results.
