Artificial General Intelligence
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities throughout a wide variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that greatly goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about one of the meanings of strong AI.
Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey determined 72 active AGI research and advancement tasks throughout 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a topic of continuous argument among researchers and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades; others keep it might take a century or longer; a minority think it may never be achieved; and another minority claims that it is already here. [5] [6] Notable AI scientist Geoffrey Hinton has expressed concerns about the fast development towards AGI, recommending it could be attained earlier than numerous anticipate. [7]
There is debate on the specific definition of AGI and relating to whether modern big language designs (LLMs) such as GPT-4 are early forms of AGI. [8] AGI is a typical subject in science fiction and futures studies. [9] [10]
Contention exists over whether AGI represents an existential danger. [11] [12] [13] Many specialists on AI have stated that reducing the danger of human termination postured by AGI should be a global top priority. [14] [15] Others discover the advancement of AGI to be too remote to present such a danger. [16] [17]
Terminology
AGI is also known as strong AI, [18] [19] full AI, [20] human-level AI, [5] human-level smart AI, or general intelligent action. [21]
Some academic sources schedule the term "strong AI" for computer system programs that experience life or awareness.
