Major technology companies, including OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Microsoft, are competing to create artificial general intelligence (AGI).

There is no unified agreement on the definition of AGI or how to determine when it has been achieved.

AI experts are raising concerns about the risks associated with AGI, particularly the capability for 'long-term planning' which could pose unforeseen dangers.

The debate and uncertainty surrounding AGI have led to calls for increased government regulation to manage potential threats.

Despite these concerns, AGI remains a popular and heavily invested-in concept in the tech industry.
