AGI: How It Could Change Humanity's Role in Society

Counts differ because each database indexes a different set of publications. We treat OpenAlex as the canonical count; Google Scholar is not shown (no API, and crawling it violates its ToS).

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) refers to a kind of artificial intelligence that is able to learn, reason, and perform a wide range of intellectual tasks at the same or better levels as humans do. This paper explores the implications that AGI might have on humanity if it was to become a reality, especially its effects on work, society, and human dependency on intelligent machines. However, the scope of the discussion does not focus on whether AGI would replace human labor, but rather on whether humans would be less central to the organization of society.
