Skynet Chance (+0.05%): The global deployment of AI agents that can autonomously take actions in the digital world increases Skynet risk by normalizing AI systems that operate with increasing autonomy and agency, potentially establishing precedents for more powerful autonomous systems in the future.
Skynet Date (-2 days): The accelerated commercialization and international expansion of AI agents capable of taking real-world actions moderately speeds up the potential timeline for more advanced autonomous AI systems with greater capabilities and less human oversight.
AGI Progress (+0.08%): Operator represents significant progress toward AGI by demonstrating practical AI agents that can understand user intent and execute complex tasks across different websites and services, bridging the gap between language understanding and real-world action.
AGI Date (-3 days): The rapid internationalization of AI agent technology indicates that the development of increasingly autonomous AI systems is progressing faster than expected, potentially bringing AGI timelines closer.
