Technical Definition
AI that can perform any intellectual task that a human being can.
How it works
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a hypothetical type of AI that possesses the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks at a level comparable to or exceeding human cognitive abilities. Unlike current AI, which is typically narrow and specialized, AGI would be capable of general problem-solving, reasoning, and adapting to new situations autonomously.

- Artificial intelligence (AI) — Machines that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence.
- Cognitive architecture — A theoretical framework specifying the fixed structures and mechanisms of a mind (natural or artificial) that enable intelligent behavior.
