Homepage > News > Business > What is AGI? Artificial General Intelligence In nearly every interview with one of the leading AI tech giants, you hear their teams, usually the CEO, talk about how the company is pursuing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Then they typically say something about how AGI is much closer to being delivered than we think. But what actually is artificial general intelligence, and is it truly an innovation coming up the pipeline or simply a phrase designed to generate buzz and raise more money? What is Artificial General Intelligence? Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI, refers to an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of performing any intellectual task that a human can do. You might be saying to yourself, “But that sounds a lot like what AI models are currently able to do.” There’s some merit, and even some truth, to that thought. However, AGI is technically and functionally different from today’s AI systems, which most people call “narrow AI”: artificial intelligence designed to perform specific tasks or a limited range of functions. AI chatbots fall into the category of narrow AI. Narrow AI doesn’t actually understand what’s going on. It’s just very good at recognizing patterns in large datasets, which it uses to produce outputs that appear intelligent. Behind the scenes, no comprehension or reasoning is happening, just data analysis, pattern matching, and predicting the next sequence of words based on the patterns it has learned from the massive datasets it was trained on. By contrast, artificial general intelligence is supposed to resemble human intelligence more closely in how it reasons, learns, and adapts. It’s meant to have a deeper level of understanding and the ability to use that to a range of tasks and situations, even ones it has never seen or been trained on, similar to a human thinking on…
