Core Concepts
General AI
General AI (AGI) refers to AI systems with the flexible, domain-agnostic intelligence of a human—capable of reasoning, learning, and applying knowledge across any intellectual task without task-specific training. It is considered the long-term goal of much foundational AI research.
While some frontier LLMs demonstrate surprising breadth, they are not considered true AGI. The path to AGI involves unsolved challenges in reasoning, long-term memory, embodied cognition, and robust generalization.
