General AI, or Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), refers to a type of artificial intelligence that can understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks, similar to human intelligence. Unlike narrow AI, which is designed for specific tasks like playing chess or recognizing faces, General AI aims to perform any intellectual task that a human can do. The development of General AI poses significant challenges, including creating systems that can reason, plan, and adapt to new situations. Researchers are exploring various approaches, including machine learning and neural networks, to achieve this level of intelligence, which could revolutionize industries and everyday life.
