Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a field within artificial intelligence (AI) where researchers are working to develop a computer system that can surpass human intelligence in various tasks.
These systems might understand themselves and control their actions, including changing their own code. They could learn to solve problems on their own, just like humans, without needing to be taught.
The term “Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)” was first used in a 2007 book, which is a collection of essays edited by computer scientist Ben Goertzel and AI researcher Cassio Pennachin.
“The term “Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)” was first used in a 2007 book” Really I got out of Expert Systems & AI in 1999. I had heard the term prior to that. 2007 maybe the first time it was published in a book, but I am sure it was “talked about” prior to that maybe like Generalised Artificial Intelligence.
