Very misleading title about a very interesting development! A link to the actual paper is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.01561.

In less clickbaity terms, DeepMind has developed a scalable system for distributed training of certain types of reinforcement learning agents. They use that to train an agent to solve a pretty big collection of different reinforcement learning problems.

"Let’s define AGI, since it’s been used by different people to mean different things. AGI is a single intelligence or algorithm that can learn multiple tasks and exhibits positive transfer when doing so...”

This is not how I would define AGI, so the title seems very click-baity to me. I am going to go read the linked deepmind paper though.
