Artificial General Intelligence

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) refers to a form of artificial intelligence that possesses the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks, similar to human cognitive abilities. Unlike narrow AI, which is designed to perform specific tasks or solve particular problems (like facial recognition or language translation), AGI aims to exhibit general intelligence, meaning it can adapt and perform well in any intellectual task that a human can do. This includes reasoning, problem-solving, abstract thinking, and understanding complex ideas. The development of AGI is a key goal in the field of AI research, as it would signify a machine’s ability to think and understand at a human-level capacity, leading to potential advancements in various domains, including science, technology, and society at large.
