Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a type of AI that can perform any intellectual task a human can do, unlike narrow AI which is specific to certain tasks.
AGI is characterized by its ability to reason, learn, adapt, and apply knowledge across various domains, making it a thinking machine.
Companies like OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic are actively working towards AGI with models like GPT-4o, Gemini 1.5, and Claude Opus that can reason across text, vision, and audio.
While we are closer than ever to AGI in 2025, it still remains a frontier with many unsolved problems and open questions.
