CONCEPT

AGI

Artificial General Intelligence — a system able to match or exceed human capability across most cognitive work rather than one narrow task. Framed by leading AI companies as their stated goal, often defined by benchmarks such as PhD-level research or self-improvement. Whether current approaches can reach it is contested.

Origin

A long-standing term in AI research, sharpened through the 2020s as commercial labs adopted it as an explicit corporate goal.
