Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

A theoretical form of AI that can understand, learn, and apply intelligence across a broad range of tasks—like a human.

👩‍🏫 How to Explain by Age Group

  • Elementary (K–5)

    • AGI would be a robot or computer that can learn anything like a person. Right now, computers can be really good at one thing, but not everything like we are.

  • Middle School (6–8)

    • AGI means a computer that can learn and think like a human across lots of areas, not just one task. We don’t have this yet, but it's something scientists talk about.

  • High School (9–12)

    • "Artificial General Intelligence is a theoretical concept where machines could mimic full human intelligence. It’s a major topic in ethics, philosophy, and future tech policy.


🚀 Classroom Expeditions

Mini-journeys into AI thinking.


  • Elementary (K–5)

    • Ask students what they can do that a robot can't. Make a chart of human vs. robot abilities. End with: Would you want a robot friend that knew everything?

  • Middle School (6–8)

    • Would a smart robot be safe? Let students role-play engineers and parents and share what they think the rules should be.

  • High School (9–12)

    • Read a short article on AGI and assign small teams to argue pros and cons. How would it change jobs, privacy, or school? Present arguments to the class.
