Because there is little overlap between AGI researchers and machine learning researchers (or even regular AI researchers, but there's a bit more overlap here).

Because there is little overlap between AGI researchers and machine learning researchers (or even regular AI researchers, but there's a bit more overlap here). AGI is a mix of philosophy and traditional AI (logic, agents, planning, value functions, etc.). The survey would have much more credibility if it were conducted of researchers at a machine learning conference like NIPS or ICML. Or even a top AI conference like AAAI. Let's just say that we would not be worrying about AGI if it weren't for the advances in machine learning, which has little to do with AGI research.
