A team of researchers from Google DeepMind has proposed a new definition and taxonomy for artificial general intelligence (AGI).

The taxonomy categorizes AGI into five levels and stresses the importance of measuring and evaluating its performance.

AGI does not necessarily imply autonomy and can be controlled by humans, according to the researchers.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella believes that AI tools will empower developers and enhance creativity in software development.

Various advancements and concerns in fields such as cosmology, fusion research, autonomous vehicles, online hate speech, space missions, and AI art generation are also mentioned.

The Google DeepMind team proposed six criteria for measuring AGI, focusing on capabilities rather than qualities like human-like understanding.

They presented a matrix measuring performance and generality across five levels, from no AI to superhuman AGI.
