Once AI reaches human-level capabilities, we will be able to use it to improve itself in a self-referential way. I personally believe that if we can reach AGI, we will reach ASI shortly, maybe a few years after that.AI Verified source (2025)

The quote directly states that if we reach AGI, we will reach ASI shortly afterward, "maybe a few years after that," which clearly matches the full statement that AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence.

The quote clearly supports it: the author says that after AGI, "we will reach ASI shortly, maybe a few years after that."

Verified. The quoted text appears verbatim in the original Live Science article published on April 28, 2025, where both sentences are explicitly attributed to Tim Rocktäschel: “Once AI reaches human-level capabilities, we will be able to use it to improve itself in a self-referential way,” followed by “I personally believe that if we can reach AGI, we will reach ASI shortly, maybe a few years after that.” ([livescience.com](https://www.livescience.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/what-is-artificial-superintelligence-asi)) The Yahoo URL itself returned a 429 when fetched, but the search result for that exact Yahoo page also shows the same quote, supporting that the syndicated Yahoo version contained it as well.

Verified via web search. Tim Rocktäschel (former Google DeepMind, UCL professor) made this statement in articles published around April 2025 by Live Science and Yahoo News on artificial superintelligence. The Yahoo URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the quote is confirmed verbatim through web search results. Quote attribution is solid — Rocktäschel later founded "Recursive Superintelligence" in late 2025 to pursue self-improving AI, consistent with this view. Updated year to 2025. The vote 'for' the statement 'AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence' aligns correctly with Rocktäschel's explicit prediction of reaching ASI shortly after AGI.
