PS: responding to my first comment about how we don’t yet have a proper definition for AGI—
We do in fact have workable definitions for what AGI could be (such as AI fulfilling 90% of human tasks to a level equal or superior to a human), even though in practice many people don’t bother defining their terms before using them.
Some descriptive terms that I learned about which are useful are below. In practice, they are worth defining more precisely when using them so others know exactly what you mean when you use them.
TAI (transformative AI): The point at which AI has replaced humans so much that it has fundamentally transformed society. (E.g. someone might think that this is reached when AI can do 60% of economically-significant tasks). This is an impact-focussed term rather than a capability focussed term.
AGI: Artificial General Intelligence. The point at which AI can do most human activities at the same level as a human. This is capabilities focussed, and again, what this really means is up to the writer to define.
ASI: Artificial Super Intelligence. The point at which AI can do every human activity better than humans. At this point, arguably, we have no control over it anymore.
