Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) represent our efforts to develop Computer Intelligences. This form of intelligence allows a computer system to carry out tasks that normally require human intellect. These tasks encompass learning from experience, recognizing patterns, understanding natural language, solving problems, and making decisions.
AI is likely to evolve similarly to the way planes have developed over time. Currently, we are in the nascent stages of AI, comparable to the era of the first planes. Just as planes differ greatly from birds, we can anticipate that Computer Intelligence will diverge significantly from Human Intelligence.
Will Computer Intelligence surpass Human Intelligence in power? Most likely, yes. But will it possess the same or superior aptitudes as Human Intelligence? For some abilities, this seems probable, while for others, it remains uncertain. For example, can an AI dream? No one knows yet, as there is still much to learn about both Human Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence.
AI is mathematics and so computation. If it were possible to create an AI with all human aptitudes, including feelings and dreaming, would that imply humans are merely computational entities? Most people would disagree with such a notion.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) refers to a type of artificial intelligence that possesses the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a broad range of tasks at a level comparable to human intelligence. Unlike narrow AI, which is designed for specific tasks, AGI aims to perform any intellectual task that a human can, including reasoning, problem-solving, learning from experience, and adapting to new situations. The development of AGI involves creating systems that can generalize their knowledge and skills across different domains, potentially leading to machines that can think, understand, and interact with the world in ways that are indistinguishable from human beings.
How much innovations will be necessary to achieve AGI? It is no doubt that AGI will be achieved in the future but AGI will remain a tool with far less aptitudes compared to Human Intelligence.
