Part 3/5:
A critical attribute of AGI, as highlighted in this perspective, isn't any specific milestone such as passing a certain test or solving particular problems. Instead, it revolves around a meta-skill—the ability to learn how to learn. An AGI should be capable of figuring things out on its own, acquiring new skills, and adapting to unfamiliar situations effectively.
This self-directed learning ability is what sets an AGI apart from narrow AI systems, which are typically designed to perform specific tasks without the flexibility to generalize their skills beyond predefined boundaries.
