Artificial general intelligence, or AGI, is a hypothetical form of AI designed to perform human-level cognitive functions, such as the capacity to self-teach. AGI is regarded as very powerful since it can autonomously solve a wide variety of cognitive tasks, as opposed to weak or narrow AI systems that carry out only particular or specialized tasks within a specified set of conditions.
Maria Carrisa Sanchez, writing for TechRepublic Premium, presents this explanation of AGI, including its evolution, features, potential benefits, and drawbacks.

HOW WILL AGI WORK?
Since AGI is still a hypothetical idea, perspectives vary on how it may be implemented in the future. Some proposed methods to reach AGI are:
• Human brain emulation: AGI strives toward the computational simulation of the human brain, gaining insights from its complex neural networks and cognitive processes. This approach involves replicating the structural and functional aspects of the human brain’s neurons and synapses within artificial neural networks. By mimicking the parallel processing and connectivity observed in the human brain, AI researchers aim to achieve a form of intelligence that mirrors human cognitive capabilities, such as pattern recognition and adaptability, while having the benefits of enhanced computational performance and reliability.
• Algorithmic probability: AGI uses algorithmic probability as a fundamental aspect of its functioning. This involves probabilistic reasoning using Solomonoff’s induction and the Bayes theorem and uncertainty management within decision-making processes. Instead of relying solely on deterministic algorithms, AGI systems incorporate probabilistic models to assess the likelihood of different outcomes, enhancing adaptability and robust decision-making in any condition without prior information about the environment surrounding it.
