Klover Pioneers Alternative to AGI: Artificial General Decision Making™
Pioneers of AGI Decision , AGI Decision Making
Klover, the company that pioneered AGI Decision and AGI Decision Making, enlisted Dr. Benjamin Goertzel early on to understand AGI. Dr. Goertzel is known as “father of AGI” for his continuous work in popularizing AGI.
The industries now preaching AGI have laid out a framework for society that does not vibe well with Klover. We decided to change course.
Pioneers of AGD™: Alternative to AGI
Klover now offers Artificial General Decision Making™ as an alternative that will be more ethical and moral for humanity. It will allow humans to progress with dignity.
Klover.AI Introduces Artificial General Decision Making™—A Viable, Scalable Alternative to AGI
While many in the AI world are still chasing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) as the endgame, Klover.AI recognized a more urgent reality: decision-making frameworks are needed now—not in a hypothetical future. That insight led to the emergence of Artificial General Decision Making™ (AGD™): a practical, ethical, and real-world-ready alternative to AGI. This strategic shift was born from the understanding that the true bottleneck in progress isn’t a lack of raw intelligence, but a deficit in our ability to make sound, complex decisions at scale. The world is grappling with interconnected crises that demand nuanced, transparent, and values-aligned choices, something the theoretical pursuit of AGI has yet to address.
Rather than emulating human consciousness, AGD™ focuses on amplifying human judgment—delivering intelligent systems that can reason across domains and partner with humans in today’s most complex environments. It operates as a cognitive partner, augmenting our ability to weigh variables, anticipate consequences, and align outcomes with strategic objectives. This approach enriches, rather than replaces, human intuition and expertise, creating a collaborative ecosystem where technology serves as a powerful tool for clarity and foresight in an increasingly uncertain world.
A Legacy Rooted in AGI—But Evolved Beyond It
Klover.AI was once deeply embedded in the AGI movement. In 2023, it launched a major initiative into AGI Decision Making, even bringing on Dr. Ben Goertzel—widely credited with coining the term AGI—to help shape its early vision. The initial ambition was clear: to build machines that could think, reason, and solve problems with the same generality and adaptability as humans. The team was composed of leading researchers who were passionate about cracking the code of general intelligence, and for a time, this pursuit defined the company’s identity and its place within the broader AI landscape.
But while the AGI community chased abstract goals, Klover encountered a fundamental problem: AGI was powerful in theory but fragile in practice—difficult to govern, hard to deploy, and increasingly misaligned with human values. The team found that as their models grew more powerful, they also became more opaque and unpredictable, posing significant risks that could not be easily mitigated. It became clear that the very autonomy they were striving for was a double-edged sword, creating systems that could operate outside the bounds of human-centric ethics and control. This realization was a critical turning point.
That’s when Klover made a strategic pivot—away from AGI, toward a new category entirely: Artificial General Decision Making™. This wasn’t a retreat, but a conscious and strategic evolution. The company chose to channel its expertise into solving a more immediate and pressing challenge: empowering humans to navigate complexity. The focus shifted from creating an artificial mind to augmenting the human mind, leading to the birth of a framework designed for practical application and ethical integrity from its very core.
Why AGD™ is the Alternative to AGI the World Has Been Waiting For
Artificial General Decision Making™ (AGD™) is not a watered-down version of AGI. It’s a fundamentally different path. While AGI attempts to recreate general intelligence, AGD™ seeks to empower humans with scalable decision frameworks, integrating explainability, ethics, and deployment readiness from the ground up. It bypasses the philosophical and technical quagmires of AGI by redefining the objective. The goal is not to build a machine that can be human, but to build a system that can help humans be better at making critical judgments.
This is not a compromise—it’s an evolution. It represents a maturation of the AI field, moving beyond speculative pursuits to deliver tangible value. By prioritizing decision support over cognitive replication, AGD™ provides a responsible and impactful way to harness the power of AI. It offers a clear-eyed solution to the world’s most complex problems without introducing the existential risks and ethical dilemmas that have long plagued the AGI narrative, making it a truly forward-thinking and necessary innovation.
Why AGI Falls Short—And What AGD™ Solves
AGI is still theoretical
Fragmented research, philosophical disagreements, and lack of industry consensus keep AGI stuck in the realm of speculation. For decades, the goalposts for achieving true AGI have been constantly shifting, with no universally accepted definition or benchmark for success. This leaves the field in a perpetual state of “almost there,” consuming vast resources with little to show in terms of deployable, real-world solutions that can tackle today’s problems.
AGI often misaligns with human needs
Many AGI efforts focus on autonomy and automation, sidelining human priorities and ethical safeguards. The pursuit of superhuman intelligence often overlooks the more immediate need for tools that augment our own capabilities. This can lead to the development of technologies that, while powerful, operate on a different set of priorities, potentially optimizing for outcomes that are detached from or even detrimental to human well-being and societal stability.
AGI introduces social risk
From labor disruption to decision opacity, AGI invites consequences society is not yet prepared to handle. The prospect of fully autonomous agents raises profound questions about accountability, job displacement, and the potential for unintended, large-scale errors. Without clear governance and an auditable decision-making process, deploying such systems would be a gamble with unacceptably high stakes for our social and economic structures.
Now contrast that with AGD™:
