It used to be that only a few academics were actually working on AGI, and even they had to pretend they were working on narrow AI to get funding. But now, plenty of big labs are. For example, DeepMind's About page states: > Our long term aim is to solve intelligence, developing more general and capable problem-solving systems, known as artificial general intelligence (AGI). In the long term, I still think DeepMind will get there before OpenAI, due to the direction of their research program, which has always been about embodied agents. I have heard Shane Legg say that embodiment is probably necessary for AGI.
