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.
