Wikipedia Entry: artificial general intelligence

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that can perform as well or better than humans on a wide range of cognitive tasks. This is in contrast to narrow AI, which is designed for specific tasks. AGI is considered one of various definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic. A 2020 survey identified 72 active AGI R&D projects spread across 37 countries.

The timeline for achieving AGI remains a subject of ongoing debate among researchers and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades; others maintain it might take a century or longer; and a minority believe it may never be achieved. There is debate on the exact definition of AGI, and regarding whether modern large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 are early, incomplete forms of AGI. AGI is a common topic in science fiction and futures studies.

Contention exists over the potential for AGI to pose a threat to humanity; for example, OpenAI claims to treat it as an existential risk, while others find the development of AGI to be too remote to present a risk.

Sparks of AGI: Early Experiments with GPT-4 Surprisingly there may be a few sparks

Gurteen Knowledge Blog   June 25, 2023, 19:13I have long been skeptical about the development of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) anytime soon, and my skepticism persists. However, recently I came across a YouTube video titled Sparks of AGI: early experiments with GPT-4, presented by Sebastien Bubeck, a Senior Principal Research Manager in the Machine Learning Foundations group … Continue reading Sparks of AGI: Early Experiments with GPT-4 Surprisingly there may be a few sparks

Why Computers Can’t Think the Way We Do Erik J. Larson (2021)

Success on narrow applications get us not one step closer to general intelligence. The inferences that systems require for general intelligence … cannot be programmed, learned, or engineered with our current knowledge of AI. … No algorithm exists for general intelligence.

AI Is Neither Artificial nor Intelligent Kate Crawford (2022)

AI is neither artificial nor intelligent. Rather, artificial intelligence is both embodied and material, made from natural resources, fuel, human labor, infrastructures, logistics, histories, and classifications. AI systems are not autonomous, rational, or able to discern anything without extensive, computationally intensive training with large datasets or predefined rules and rewards.
