You'll probably want to be either the sort of good at math who regularly leaves "is good at math" people in the dust or be prepared to work quite hard.

At least if you're going by the "AGI is all about math" route. If one takes the "AGI is more about cognitive science and psychology" approach, then they don't necessarily need to be quite that good at math, though a basic competence is still an absolute must.

Thank you for answer.

Could you redirect me to somewhere, where I could find what problems/directions are you talking about? Since I'm not so shining mathematician, maybe I could contribute in these areas, which I found similar interesting.
