A Definition of AGI

Understand

The lack of a concrete definition for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) obscures the gap between today's specialized AI and human-level cognition.

• This paper introduces a quantifiable framework to address this, defining AGI as matching the cognitive versatility and proficiency of a well-educated adult.
• To operationalize this, we ground our methodology in Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory, the most empirically validated model of human cognition.
• The framework dissects general intelligence into ten core cognitive domains-including reasoning, memory, and perception-and adapts established human psychometric batteries to evaluate AI systems.
