What Is AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)?
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a hypothetical form of AI that could understand, learn, and perform any intellectual task a human can, across different domains, rather than excelling only at specific tasks. There is no single agreed definition or test for AGI, and experts disagree about when, or whether, it will be achieved.
AGI vs. Narrow AI
Current AI systems, including advanced language models, are considered narrow or specialized, even when they perform well across many tasks.
Why It Is Debated
Definitions range from matching human performance on most economically valuable work to broader notions of reasoning and learning; these differences drive very different predictions.
