Personal AGI System

A Personal AGI System is a Personal AI System that is an AGI system: a system dedicated to a single individual whose capability approximates human-level intelligence across cognitive tasks.
- AKA: Personal AGI.
- Context:
- It can (typically) be customized for its individual and evolve with that individual through use.
- It can (typically) learn from prior interactions with its individual to become more helpful over time.
- It can (typically) be expected to handle the broad range of cognitive tasks its individual brings to it, rather than a single task or domain.
- …
- It can (often) give its name to a vendor research program, such as OpenAI's Personal AGI organization, whose teams work on memory and personalization for ChatGPT.
- It can (often) be pursued by individuals who build their own systems around persistent memory and reusable skills, as in Garry Tan's "personal AGI" thesis.
- …
- It can range from being a Vendor-Hosted Personal AGI System to being a Self-Built Personal AGI System, depending on who holds its memory and procedures.
- …
- Example(s):
- Vendor-Hosted Personal AGI Systems, such as the personalized ChatGPT that teams in OpenAI's Personal AGI organization work toward.
- Self-Built Personal AGI Systems, in which an individual holds the persistent memory and reusable skills rather than relying on model access alone, as described in Garry Tan's "personal AGI" thesis, such as:
- an AGET agent fleet run for one person, which gives its agents persistent knowledge, shared memory, fleet coordination and human-supervised governance, and which its builder classes as a Personal AGI System.
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- A Personal Superintelligence, which is also dedicated to a single individual but whose capability exceeds human level rather than approximating it.
- A Domain-Specific AGI, which has general intelligence within a bounded domain context, whereas a Personal AGI System handles the range of tasks its individual brings to it.
- A personalized assistant limited to narrow tasks, which is dedicated to one individual but lacks general capability.
- Adjusted gross income (AGI), a US tax quantity that shares the abbreviation and is not an AI system.
- …
