Artificial intelligence surrounds us. More and more of the systems and services you interact with every day are based on AI technology. Although some very recent AI systems are generalists to a degree, most AI is narrowly specific; that is, it can only do a single thing, in a single context. For example, your spellchecker can’t do mathematics, and the world's best chess-playing program can’t play Tetris. Human intelligence is different. We can solve a variety of tasks, including those we have not seen before. In Artificial General Intelligence , Julian Togelius explores technical approaches to developing more general artificial intelligence and asks what general AI would mean for human civilization. Togelius starts by giving examples of narrow AI that have superhuman performance in some way. Interestingly, there have been AI systems that are superhuman in some sense for more than half a century. He then discusses what it would mean to have general intelligence, by looking at definitions from psychology, ethology, and computer science. Next, he explores the two main families of technical approaches to developing more general artificial intelligence: foundation models through self-supervised learning, and open-ended learning in virtual environments. The final chapters of the book investigate potential artificial general intelligence beyond the strictly technical aspects. The questions discussed here investigate whether such general AI would be conscious, whether it would pose a risk to humanity, and how it might alter society. Review: Muito bom - Livro excelente!! Muito bom Review: great book - I enjoyed the book that is clear, comprehensive and pedagogical. It deals with complex concepts in an accurate way. In this period marked by a deluge of books on AI, this one really deserves a stop. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #339,883 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #975 in Artificial Intelligence #2,280 in Computer Science Books #7,319 in Society & Culture (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 70 Reviews | ## Images ![Artificial General Intelligence (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61hpLo4i57L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Muito bom *by C***N on 21 May 2026* Livro excelente!! Muito bom ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great book *by G***E on 29 December 2024* I enjoyed the book that is clear, comprehensive and pedagogical. It deals with complex concepts in an accurate way. In this period marked by a deluge of books on AI, this one really deserves a stop. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really enjoyed reading *by D***I on 19 June 2025* I like how AI and AGI were demistified and well explained. The author covers entire history of AI since the 1950s and important milestones up to where we are today. It mixes real world achievements and technology with sci-fi movies and novels which is really engaging and educational at the same time because it asks the difficult questions about intelligence and how would we recognize alien or any kind of intelligence if it was right in front of us. ## Frequently Bought Together - Artificial General Intelligence (MIT Press Essential Knowledge) - Deep Learning (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/679704389-artificial-general-intelligence-the-mit-press-essential-knowledge-series](https://www.desertcart.it/products/679704389-artificial-general-intelligence-the-mit-press-essential-knowledge-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
