Artificial General Intelligence
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities across a large range of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to particular jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that greatly goes beyond human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about among the definitions of strong AI.
Creating AGI is a main goal of AI research study and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey identified 72 active AGI research study and development tasks throughout 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI stays a subject of ongoing dispute amongst researchers and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades; others maintain it may take a century or longer; a minority think it may never ever be achieved; and another minority declares that it is already here. [5] [6] Notable AI scientist Geoffrey Hinton has actually revealed issues about the quick progress towards AGI, suggesting it might be attained sooner than many expect. [7]
There is argument on the specific definition of AGI and concerning whether contemporary large language designs (LLMs) such as GPT-4 are early forms of AGI. [8] AGI is a typical topic in science fiction and futures research studies. [9] [10]
Contention exists over whether AGI represents an existential threat. [11] [12] [13] Many professionals on AI have mentioned that mitigating the risk of human extinction posed by AGI ought to be a worldwide top priority. [14] [15] Others find the development of AGI to be too remote to present such a danger. [16] [17]
Terminology
AGI is likewise understood as strong AI, [18] [19] complete AI, [20] human-level AI, [5] human-level smart AI, or general intelligent action.
