Artificial General Intelligence
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a kind of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities across a large variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that greatly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about one of the definitions of strong AI.
Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey determined 72 active AGI research study and development jobs across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a topic of ongoing debate amongst scientists and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years; others preserve it may take a century or longer; a minority think it might never be attained; and another minority claims that it is currently here. [5] [6] Notable AI researcher Geoffrey Hinton has actually expressed issues about the fast development towards AGI, recommending it might be accomplished sooner than numerous expect. [7]
There is argument on the specific definition of AGI and regarding whether modern-day large language designs (LLMs) such as GPT-4 are early types of AGI. [8] AGI is a common subject in science fiction and futures research studies. [9] [10]
Contention exists over whether AGI represents an existential threat. [11] [12] [13] Many experts on AI have actually mentioned that reducing the risk of human extinction postured by AGI should be an international concern. [14] [15] Others find the development of AGI to be too remote to provide such a risk. [16] [17]
Terminology
AGI is likewise known as strong AI, [18] [19] complete AI, [20] human-level AI, [5] human-level intelligent AI, or general intelligent action.
