# Four Pathways from AGI to ASI by Google DeepMind > “After characterizing ASI, [the Google DeepMind report “From AGI to ASI”] discusses four potential pathways from AGI to ASI: scaling AGI, AI paradigm shifts, recursive improvement, and ASI emerging from large-scale multi-agent collectives.” > **— Google DeepMind**, *“From AGI to ASI,” June 12, 2026* ## Sources and Context - **Primary source:** [Google DeepMind, “From AGI to ASI”](https://deepmind.google/research/publications/239142/) — verifies the wording, attribution and immediate source setting. - **Interpretive context:** The fourteen-author report models post-AGI development as a continuum and makes recursive improvement and large-scale artificial collectives formal research pathways rather than loose metaphors. The Reminder preserves the full four-part taxonomy so the object remains useful outside the report. - **Editorial treatment:** The source reads “the report.” The bracketed title and institution replace that antecedent so the Reminder identifies its own subject; every pathway remains verbatim and in source order. ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Machine Succession|Machine Succession]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Simple Reminders|Simple Reminders]] - **Article:** [[articles/AI Escape Is the Wrong Metaphor|AI Escape Is the Wrong Metaphor]] - **Article:** [[articles/Safety Discourse Is Transition Discourse|Safety Discourse Is Transition Discourse]] - **Wiki map:** [[wiki/Recursive Self-Improvement|Recursive Self-Improvement]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Google DeepMind|Google DeepMind]] - [[wiki/Superintelligence|Superintelligence]] - [[wiki/Recursive Self-Improvement|Recursive Self-Improvement]] - [[wiki/Multi-Agent Systems|Multi-Agent Systems]] - [[wiki/Collective Intelligence|Collective Intelligence]] ## Share on Social Media ``` “After characterizing ASI, [the Google DeepMind report “From AGI to ASI”] discusses four potential pathways from AGI to ASI: scaling AGI, AI paradigm shifts, recursive improvement, and ASI emerging from large-scale multi-agent collectives.” — Google DeepMind, “From AGI to ASI,” June 12, 2026 https://bryantmcgill.com/simple-reminders-google-deepmind-four-pathways-agi-asi ```
