Road to Artificial General Intelligence: Possibilities Challenges and Future
Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved over the past decade, transitioning from narrow AI applications like recommendation systems and image recognition to more sophisticated systems such as conversational agents, autonomous vehicles, and generative AI. However, the true milestone many researchers and technologists strive toward is Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) —a system that can understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks at human-level competence or beyond. While AGI remains a theoretical goal, recent developments suggest that the path toward it is becoming more defined. In this article, we will explore what AGI is, how close we are to achieving it, the challenges we face, and the implications it holds for the future. What is AGI? Artificial General Intelligence refers to a machine's ability to perform any intellectual task that a human can do. Unlike narrow AI, which excels at specific tasks (e.g., playing chess, langua...
