Artificial General Intelligence
Also called: AGI
A hypothetical system matching human breadth across essentially any cognitive task — no agreed definition, no agreed timeline.
AGI describes AI that generalises across domains the way a person does, rather than excelling at a bounded set of tasks. It is not a technical specification: labs, researchers, and regulators use materially different definitions, which is why timeline claims are so hard to compare. Treat any confident AGI prediction as an opinion with a definition hidden inside it.
In practice: Today’s systems can write and code well and still fail at tasks a child handles — breadth, not skill, is the gap.
