You should not put any weight on surveys like this.

I'm an ML/AI researcher. I get similar surveys regularly. I don't reply, neither do my colleagues. The people who reply are a self selected group who are heavily biased toward thinking that AGI will happen soon. Or they have a financial interest in creating hype.

Most of the experts from that report have a direct financial benefit from claiming that this will happen really soon now.
