# AGI Readiness Policy Version 1.0 — July 2, 2024 Magic is building frontier-scale models and autonomous agents to automate software engineering and research. Building such systems, we believe, will bring enormous societal value. However, we also believe AI development poses the possibility of serious negative externalities on society, including catastrophic risks to public security and wellbeing. [...] Magic’s engineering team, potentially in collaboration with external advisers, is responsible for conducting evaluations on the public and private coding benchmarks described above. If the engineering team sees evidence that our AI systems have exceeded the current performance thresholds on the public and private benchmarks listed above, the team is responsible for making this known immediately to the leadership team and Magic’s Board of Directors (BOD). [...] We compare our models’ capability to publicly available closed and open-source models, to determine whether our models are sufficiently capable such that there is a real risk of setting a new state-of-the-art in dangerous AI capabilities.

Magic develops AI-driven tools (not yet for sale) designed to help software engineers write, review, debug and plan code changes. The tools operate like an automated pair programmer, attempting to understand and continuously learn more about the context of various coding projects. [...] And Magic’s ambitions are grander than automating routine software development tasks. On the company’s website, it speaks of a path to AGI — AI that can solve problems more reliably than humans can alone. Toward such AI, San Francisco-based Magic recently hired Ben Chess, a former lead on OpenAI’s supercomputing team, and plans to expand its cybersecurity, engineering, research and system engineering teams.
