They are hosting and sponsoring an AGI conference in August 2011:
Yeah, I found that earlier. I was referring to the line in the linked document that says "A friend of the community was hired for Google's AGI team, and another may be soon." That doesn't seem to be referring just to the conference.
Google is a major machine intelligence company.
At least one of their existing products aims pretty directly at general-purpose intelligence.
They have a range of other intelligence-requiring applications: translate, search, goggles, street view, speech recognition.

...however, "Google's AGI team" is interesting phrasing. It probably refers to Google Research.
Moshe Looks has worked for Google Research since 2007, goes to the AGI conferences - e.g. see here - and was once described as a SIAI "scientific advisor" on their blog - the most probable source of this tale, IMO.
Google Research certainly has some interesting publications in machine intelligence and machine learning.
