AI experts have varying views on the concept of artificial general intelligence (AGI). While some believe it's still years away, others see it as a potential milestone. ChatGPT maker OpenAI is working towards creating AGI, aiming to elevate humanity by increasing abundance and aiding scientific discovery. Microsoft's OpenAI partnership considers their latest AI model, GPT-4, an early version of AGI due to its capability to solve complex tasks across various domains. However, the definition of AGI remains contentious, with diverging perspectives on its attainment and timeline.
