What is AGI?

Artificial General Intelligence

It is the goal of AI that exhibits human-level or above intelligence.

Overview

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is the capacity of an artificial intelligence to perform any intellectual task as well or better than a human. While current AIs specialize in certain areas, the AGI goal is a versatile and self-learning intelligence.

Analogy: Instead of a computer program that only plays chess, imagine an intelligence that can both cook and write poetry.

How it works

AGI adapts to new situations by combining different areas of expertise. It works not with a specific set of commands but with general reasoning and problem-solving abilities.

Where it is used

It is not fully available yet, but it is considered the ultimate goal of artificial intelligence research.

Commonly confused with

It is often confused with today's advanced language models, but they are still narrow intelligences that specialize only in certain tasks.

Frequently asked questions

How do we know when we have achieved AGI?

We will be close to this when artificial intelligence can perform at an expert level without human assistance, even in an area it has never seen before.

Is AGI dangerous?

This is an issue that is at the center of ethical and security discussions, and whose controllability has been given much thought.
