AGI explained: Artificial intelligence with humanlike cognition

As artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, gains traction in the business world after years of promise, a new generation of AI is starting to emerge — at least in the hype cycle. It’s not agentic AI, it’s not robotic AI, or physical AI. It is artificial general intelligence, or AGI.

Two years ago, fear of AGI run amok prompted 1,000 tech leaders and AI researchers to sign an open letter calling for a pause on new AI model rollouts. That pause obviously didn’t happen, nor has AGI arrived.

AI company leaders such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei have said AGI is imminent. Other AI experts are more conservative, with estimates ranging from “within the next five to ten years” to “decades” to “never.”
