Artificial general intelligence or AGI is one of the most advanced forms of AI, with the ability to learn and solve tasks that can surpass the intelligence of humans. In short, he wants to imitate the human capacity to know.
For now, it is only a long-term objective, since current AI models are associated with narrow AI, to solve specific tasks with considerable limitations, such as voice assistants, conversational chatbots or recommendations on platforms and search engines.
The next logical step would be AGI, a type of AI that is capable of understanding the environment, although never in the way that humans do, since they do not have their own consciousness.
Beyond this, according to The Information Following documents signed last year and people familiar with the situation, OpenAI and Microsoft have established that The AGI will arrive when an AI has been developed that generates more than 100,000 million dollars per year of benefit.
As provided in the agreement between Microsoft and OpenAI, This goal could be achieved in 2029although the company led by Sam Altman would reach the end of the contract, in an event very similar to what already happened with ChatGPT, marking its own path.
However, these figures seem to be very far from being achieved, since according to OpenAI’s latest annual results, in 2023 it added $1.3 billion in revenue alone.
Additionally, there is a great division regarding the exact definition of what AGI is, sometimes confused with super intelligence or the aforementioned narrow AI.
One of the best examples of how AI is advancing is Microsoft with Copilot and automated agents. So to speak, the first stage is precisely a chatbot, although to make the leap to the second they need to have memory.
Finally, artificial intelligence agents would arrive, a scenario that is being witnessed today.
Now, Copilot bases its model on the agreement with OpenAI, since this company has some of the most powerful at the level of complex processing, such as o1, an artificial intelligence capable of reasoning – not in the strict sense of the word.
In his case, Sam Altman’s company is also behind other projects to achieve super artificial intelligence, although this will require fine-tuning and refining the AGI.
