AI BriefingAt This Point, the Term 'AGI' Has Become Almost Meaningless
Key point
As the definition of AGI grows increasingly vague, the term's usefulness is declining, and what's needed now are more concrete and ambitious milestones.
Details
AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is not a single point but rather a concept resembling a 'fuzzy cloud' of mixed definitions. Definitions diverge sharply depending on whether it means simply matching human performance or surpassing it, and whether it's limited to cognitive tasks rather than all tasks.
In the past, the term AGI was useful as a concept contrasted with Narrow AI. At that time, AI technology was far from the definition of AGI, so it could serve as a directional marker pointing to general-purpose systems to be developed in the future.
However, current AI systems have already entered within the boundaries of AGI. Some argue that AGI has already been achieved, while others say decades still remain. The expectation that 'we'll know it intuitively' is no longer valid.
Ultimately, rather than relying on vague terminology, there is an urgent need to establish concrete and ambitious milestones that can clearly measure technological progress.
