what is an agi

AGI stands for Artificial General Intelligence. It refers to an intelligent system with comprehensive or complete knowledge and cognitive computing capabilities that can perform any intellectual task that human beings or animals can perform. AGI is a primary goal of some artificial intelligence research and companies such as OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic. At present, no true AGI systems exist, and they remain the stuff of science fiction. If AGI were applied to various fields, it could improve productivity and efficiency in most jobs, accelerate medical research, democratize access to rapid, high-quality medical diagnostics, and offer fun, cheap and personalized education.
