Artificial intelligence is transforming the world, yet its terminology often leaves even experts feeling lost. TechCrunch has published a glossary to explain the complex jargon surrounding AI, describing it as a living document that evolves with the field. The guide aims to demystify terms like AGI, AI agents, and diffusion models, which are increasingly used in AI development. According to the article, AGI, or artificial general intelligence, is a term that refers to AI systems more capable than the average human at many tasks. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described AGI as the 'equivalent of a median human that you could hire as a co-worker.' Meanwhile, Google DeepMind defines AGI as 'AI that’s at least as capable as humans at most cognitive tasks.' The article also highlights AI agents, which are tools that perform tasks beyond what basic chatbots can do, such as filing expenses or writing code. However, the concept remains fluid, with varying interpretations among experts. API endpoints are described as 'buttons' on software that allow other programs to trigger actions, enabling automation through AI agents. *Source: [techcrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/29/artificial-intelligence-definition-glossary-hallucinations-guide-to-common-ai-terms/)*
