Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been the talk of the town these days. From hyperlocal startups to Multinational companies, everyone has either started using AI in their businesses or are having plans to begin in the quarters to come. It wouldn't be wrong to say: "dot-ai is the new dot-com." In my previous post, we explored, in a general sense, what AI is. If you haven't explored it yet, feel free to check it out by clicking on the following link: Simplifying Artificial Intelligence.

AGI or'Strong AI' is the concept of a machine with general intelligence that mimics human intelligence and/or behaviors, with the ability to learn and apply its intelligence to solve any problem. It possesses the ability to think and act in a way not any different from the way we humans think or act. We humans can drive a car, classify a pet by looking at its image, and grade an essay all with just one brain of ours. While an ANI system cannot do so, an AGI can! True AGI has not been achieved yet by AI researchers and scientists, owing to intricacies and complexities that it proposes. Who knows, maybe someday technological advances like Quantum Computers can enable achieve True AGI!
