Explained in plain English

What is 'strong AI'?

'Strong AI' refers to artificial general intelligence (AGI), a theoretical 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 self-improving nature of AI, hinting at fears around AGI's potential for harm if not properly controlled.
