=== Intelligence traits ===
Researchers generally hold that a system is required to do all of the following to be regarded as an AGI:<ref name=":12">This list of intelligent traits is based on the topics covered by major AI textbooks, including: {{Harvnb|Russell|Norvig|2003}}, {{Harvnb|Luger|Stubblefield|2004}}, {{Harvnb|Poole|Mackworth|Goebel|1998}} and {{Harvnb|Nilsson|1998}}.</ref>
* [[automated reasoning|reason]], use strategy, solve puzzles, and make judgments under [[uncertainty]]
* [[knowledge representation|represent knowledge]], including [[commonsense knowledge (artificial intelligence)|common sense knowledge]]
* [[automated planning and scheduling|plan]]
* [[machine learning|learn]]
* communicate in [[natural language processing|natural language]]
* if necessary, [[Artificial intelligence systems integration|integrate these skills]] in completion of any given goal
Many [[Interdisciplinarity|interdisciplinary]] approaches (e.g. [[cognitive science]], [[computational intelligence]], and [[decision making]]) consider additional traits such as [[imagination]] (the ability to form novel mental images and concepts)<ref>{{Harvnb|Johnson|1987}}</ref> and [[Self-determination theory|autonomy]].<ref>de Charms, R. (1968). Personal causation. New York: Academic Press.</ref>

Computer-based systems that exhibit many of these capabilities exist (e.g. see [[computational creativity]], [[automated reasoning]], [[decision support system]], [[robot]], [[evolutionary computation]], [[intelligent agent]]). There is debate about whether modern AI systems possess them to an adequate degree.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Van Eyghen|first= Hans|title=AI Algorithms as (Un)virtuous Knowers|journal=Discover Artificial Intelligence|volume=5|issue=2|date=2025|doi= 10.1007/s44163-024-00219-z|doi-access=free}}</ref>
