AGI and AGE: Defining Intelligence in The AI Instinct

The article analyzes the issues surrounding Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), indicating that it is not a fixed technical point but a moving definitional boundary. The author emphasizes that the concept of generality in AI depends on the chosen comparative norm—whether we measure the system against an average human or a team of experts. The text traces the evolution of the term AGI, from the works of Mark Gubrud and Ben Goertzel to the formal concepts of universal intelligence by Shane Legg and Marcus Hutter. The key conclusion is the transition from attempting to mimic human competencies toward a functional approach focused on adaptively achieving goals in diverse environments. The introduction of the AGE (Artificial General Experience) concept allows the discussion to expand from the level of pure intelligence to the level of phenomenological machine experience.
