Pretty much, with the addition that they are working on the prerequisites for perhaps other reasons, but I suspect with the AGI potential in mind. Do not remember which one of the 3 CEOs said this, but they know that the ultimate search output is NOT pages of ranked links; it is the answer to your search query. This smacks of an AGI-hard problem.
I think that's probably Larry Page - here:
"Google CEO brags about Google Artificial Intelligence"
(Sorry this is mostly a link instead of a post, but I think it will interesting to the FAI folks here)
I helped arrange this interview with Peter Norvig:

I think the answer to the AGI question 4 is telling, but judge for yourself. (BTW, the 'components' Peter referred to are probabilistic relational learning and hierarchical modeling. He singled these two in his singularity summit talk)
