This a bold claim, but I think we can limit this definition to only “Generalized intelligence.”
In contrast, a narrow AI designed to perform specific tasks by generating task-specific data and training/tuning for the same exact task,
The development of AGI is seen as a critical step in the advancement of… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
