Sam Altman now says AGI, or human-level AI, is 'not a super useful term’ — and he's not alone

cnbc.com Ryan Browne 2025-12-03 04:18:36

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said artificial general intelligence, or "AGI," is losing its relevance as a term as rapid advances in the space make it harder to define the concept. AGI refers to the concept of a form of artificial intelligence that can perform any intellectual task that a human can. For years, OpenAI has been working to research and develop AGI that is safe and benefits all humanity. "I think it's not a super useful term," Altman told CNBC's "Squawk Box" last week, when asked whether
