AI is jumping from one hype cycle to another. First, it was simple AI, then came Generative AI, and currently, we are reeling from Agentic AI. The new term is already lurking—Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

 Actually, AGI is pretty old, dating back to the early 2000s. What is it, and why is it gathering attention now? I talk to the person who came up with the very term--Peter Voss, CEO & Chief Scientist at Aigo.ai.

We delve into how AGI mimics human learning functions, how it differs from Gen AI, why it is cost- and power-efficient by orders of magnitude, whether today's Gen AI can evolve into AGI, and more.

We also discuss whether AGI's human-like learning can create cyborgs and Skynet.
