Explained in plain English

What is 'artificial general intelligence'?

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) refers to AI that can understand, learn, and apply intelligence across a wide range of tasks, much like a human. The states suing OpenAI are concerned about the potential for self-improving AI, which could evolve towards AGI, to cause harm, especially to young users.
