There's no such thing as AGI in our near future, it's a moniker, a meme, something to 'strive' for but not 'a thing'. AGI will not happen in discrete solutions anyhow. Siri - an interactive layer over the internet with a few other features, will exhibit AGI like features long, long before what we think of as more distinct automatonic type solutions. My father already talks to Siri like it's a person. 'The Network Is the Computer' is the key thing to grasp here and our localized innovations collectively make up that which is the real AGI. Every microservice ever in production is another addition to the global AGI incarnation. Trying to isolate AGI 'instances' is something we do because humans are automatons and we like to think of 'intelligence' in that context.
