I believe by “general-purpose AI” the report doesn’t mean AGI.

Which is one of those cases where I briefly want to reject linguistic descriptivism because to me the "G" in "AGI" is precisely "general".

But then I laugh at myself, because words shift and you have to roll with the changes.

But do be aware that this shift of meanings is not universally acknowledged let alone accepted — there's at least half a dozen different meanings to the term "AGI", except one of them requires "consciousness" and there's loads of different meanings of that too.
