The concept of AGI is not entirely novel, though its practical implications are only beginning to be seriously contemplated. As members of an increasingly tech-savvy generation, we are already familiar with AI in various forms, such as virtual assistants, recommendation algorithms, and automated customer service bots. These tools streamline our daily routines, providing efficient solutions with minimal effort. However, AGI promises to be much more profound, with capabilities that far exceed these specialized applications.

AI has been in development since the 1950s, but significant advancements have occurred since the early 2000s, primarily due to innovations in deep learning, machine learning,… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
