Definition: AGI

(1) For advanced geospatial intelligence, see DOD intelligence glossary.

(2) (Artificial General Intelligence) A machine intelligence that is equal to or greater than that of a human being. AGI (strong AI, true AI) learns on its own and can solve many tasks, while narrow AI (weak AI, ordinary AI), such as ChatGPT and other chatbots are not adaptable and must be trained. All the major AI companies, such as OpenAI, DeepMind and Anthropic, are aiming for AGI. See ChatGPT.

A true general-purpose AI has people concerned that too much control will be given to machines in the future. The predictions for when AGI becomes commonplace run the gamut from "a couple years" to 2050 and beyond. See AI anxiety and OpenAI AGI stages.

Super Intelligence
Super intelligence, also known as "artificial super intelligence" (ASI), goes beyond AGI, meaning that it is greater than human intelligence. In essence, we have already reached that point; for example, no human can translate 50 speaking languages.

The only guarantee is that for the foreseeable future, the terminology used to define futuristic AI will be contradictory. See AI stages and technology singularity.

AI Will Reign Supreme

MIT professor Max Tegmark's best-selling book postulates an AI that far exceeds human intelligence and literally takes over.
