On Certain Aspects of the Concept of Artificial General Intelligence
S.V. Leshchev, K. A. KALUSHEV · Automatic Documentation and Mathematical Linguistics · 2026
Abstract— The rapid development of large language models, and, more recently, of large multimodal models, which have increasingly demonstrated their universality, has renewed the discussion on the prospects for achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). However, no consensus definition on the term itself has been developed. The definition marketplace delivers a wide variety: general AI, universal AI, strong AI, weak AI, narrow AI, human-like AI, superintelligent AI, and others. This article presents, first, some approaches to codifying AI and AGI, as well as a minimal list of opinions and concepts, including leading experts’ perspectives on the foundational AI paradigms—symbolism, connectionism, and enactivism. Second, the possible ensemble nature of AGI is discussed. Third, the ability of an AGI agent to function in the real world is conceptualized as an essential requirement.
