Artificial General Intelligence
A hypothetical form of AI that possesses the ability to understand, learn and apply knowledge across any intellectual task that a human can perform.
In plain language
A hypothetical AI that could think and reason like a human across all domains, not just play chess or write marketing copy, but truly understand and reason about anything. We don't have this yet.
Why this matters
While AGI remains speculative, understanding its implications is relevant to long-term AI strategy. Your governance framework should address how the organisation would respond to major AI capability advances and remain alert to emerging risks from increasingly capable systems.
Relevance
StrategyLong-term strategy must account for the possibility of increasingly capable AI systems and establish governance approaches that remain relevant as capabilities advance.
