AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) ☆

AGI loosely means AI matching humans across most cognitive work — but definitions diverge enough to matter contractually: OpenAI's charter ties it to 'outperforming humans at most economically valuable work,' and its Microsoft agreement hinged on an AGI clause renegotiated in 2025. Altman says the term has lost usefulness; Hassabis holds a stricter scientist's bar; skeptics note goalposts move every time a capability lands. This database uses the term only inside attributed claims.
