Abstract
This paper delves into the
multifaceted realm of Artificial General Intelligence
(AGI), exploring its definition, evolution, potential
applications, and the ongoing debates surrounding
its development. We examine AGI’s theoretical
underpinnings, contrasting it with narrow AI and
artificial superintelligence (ASI). Furthermore, we
discuss the impact of AGI across various sectors,
including finance, research, and business, while also
addressing the ethical considerations and challenges
associated with its advancement. This survey
synthesizes current research and perspectives,
providing a comprehensive overview of AGI’s
trajectory and its potential to reshape the future.
This paper presents a comprehensive examination of
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), analyzing its
current state, applications across industries, and
future trajectory. Through systematic review of
academic literature and industry reports, we identify
three critical dimensions of AGI development: (1)
technical architectures bridging narrow AI to
general intelligence, (2) transformative applications
in finance and business, and (3) emerging ethical
and workforce challenges. Our findings reveal
accelerating market growth (projected 36.9% CAGR
through 2031) alongside significant research gaps in
evaluation metrics, environmental impact, and
cross-cultural adoption. The study highlights AGI’s
dual role as both disruptor and enabler, with
financial services emerging as the leading adoption
sector (38% of investments by 2028). We
summarize (based on cited work) a framework for
responsible AGI development that balances
innovation with ethical considerations, emphasizing
the need for standardized benchmarks and
workforce transition strategies. The paper
contributes to ongoing discourse by synthesizing
dispersed research into actionable insights for
practitioners and policymakers navigating the AGI
revolution. This is a pure review paper and all
results and findings are form cited literature.
