Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving field, with applications ranging from simple automated tasks to complex decision-making processes. Among the various types of AI, General AI, also known as Strong AI, stands out as the most ambitious and challenging goal. Unlike Narrow AI, which is designed for specific tasks, General AI aims to replicate human cognitive abilities across a wide range of activities.
What is General AI?
General AI refers to a type of artificial intelligence that possesses the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge in a way that is indistinguishable from human intelligence. This means it can perform any intellectual task that a human can, with the capability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience.

- Versatility: Unlike Narrow AI, which is limited to specific tasks such as language translation or playing chess, General AI can perform a wide array of tasks. It can switch between different activities without needing to be retrained for each new task.
- Autonomy: General AI systems would operate independently, making decisions and taking actions without…
