AGI
Hypothetical "general" AI, matching humans in every domain. Doesn't exist yet.
AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is a hypothetical system that would match or surpass humans in any intellectual task - not just a narrow specialty, like today's models. AGI would be able to independently learn new domains, transfer knowledge between them and plan long-term. Despite spectacular progress, current models remain "narrow" AI: they write and code brilliantly, but lack persistent memory, coherent world understanding or autonomous goals. When and whether AGI will emerge is one of the hottest debates in the field, with predictions ranging from a few years to never.
