What's an AGI?

An artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a hypothetical intelligent agent which can understand or learn any intellectual task that human beings or other animals can.[1][2] AGI has also been defined alternatively as autonomous systems that surpass human capabilities at the majority of economically valuable work.[3] Developing AGI is a primary goal of some artificial intelligence research and for several AI companies such as OpenAI,[3] DeepMind,[4] and Anthropic, as well as a common topic in science fiction and futures studies.
