Understanding AGI: What It Is and Why It Matters

About This Course

AGI is the most debated topic in tech — but most explanations are either hype or doom. This course gives you a clear-eyed look at what artificial general intelligence actually means, how close (or far) we are, what the leading approaches look like, and why it matters for everyone — not just engineers. You'll come away with an informed perspective you can actually defend.
