Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is an area of artificial intelligence ( AI ) research in which scientists are striving to create a computer system that is generally smarter than humans.

These hypothetical systems may have a degree of self-understanding and self-control, including the ability to edit their own code.

Because AGI has never been built, there is no consensus among scientists about what it might mean for humanity.

Kurzweil predicts AGI will lead to superintelligence by 2030s .

In 2045 , people will be able to connect their brains directly with AI .

Others in the scientific community suggest AGI might happen imminently.

Goertzel, for example, has suggested we may reach the singularity by 2027 .
