Is Conscious AI Achievable & How Soon Might We Expect It?

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) can be defined as artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human intelligence. It is, in brief, the type of intelligence through which a machine is able to perform any intellectual task that a human being can. And, it is currently one of the main objectives of AI research. The concepts of AGI and consciousness, however, lack definitions that satisfy everyone. The type of artificial AI currently available is focused on specific tasks and is therefore referred to as "applied" or "narrow" AI because of the machines' limited intelligence.
