Artificial General Intelligence
A type of AI that possesses the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge in a generalized way, similar to human intelligence.
Definition
A hypothetical AI that can transfer learning seamlessly between domains—from medical diagnosis to poetry composition—requiring entirely new governance constructs around autonomy, goal-setting, and safety.
Real-World Example
In theory, an AGI could autonomously research climate models one hour, negotiate peace treaties the next, and design sustainable infrastructure thereafter. Policymakers imagine a global AGI Authority empowered to audit its reasoning, enforce human-aligned objectives, and impose constraints across its broad activities.
