What is AGI? (Artificial General Intelligence)

Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI, is the next frontier in artificial intelligence. Unlike today’s AI, which is designed for specific tasks like image recognition or chatbots, AGI refers to machines that can think, learn, and solve problems like a human — across any domain. Imagine a system that can write code, drive a car, diagnose diseases, and understand emotions, all at once. That’s the promise of AGI. It’s not here yet — but companies like OpenAI, DeepMind, and others are racing toward it. While exciting, AGI also brings ethical and safety concerns. How do we ensure such powerful systems align with human values? The journey to AGI is not just technological — it’s philosophical and global.
