> Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is the term used to describe an artificial agent that is at least as intelligent as a human in all the many ways a human displays (or can display) intelligence. It’s what we used to call artificial intelligence, until we started creating programs and devices that were undeniably “intelligent,” but in limited domains—playing chess, translating language, vacuuming our living rooms. Source that AI ever meant that the requirement is to perform better than human in all areas? > One of the essential characteristics of general intelligence is “sentience,” the ability to have subjective experiences—to feel what it’s like, say, to experience hunger, to taste an apple, or to see red. Sentience is a crucial step on the road to general intelligence. Also source for that. Why would sentience be required? I don't think current AI is sentient, but I don't think requirement for AGI would be sentience, or it being necessary for intelligence.
