When will we have artificial intelligence as smart as a human? Here's what experts think

What do all these movies have in common? The artificial intelligence (AI) depicted in there is crazy-sophisticated. These robots can think creatively, continue learning over time, and maybe even pass for conscious. Real-life artificial intelligence experts have a name for AI that can do this -- it's Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). For decades, scientists have tried all sorts of approaches to create AGI, using techniques such as reinforcement learning and machine learning.
