Responding to this very late, but: If I recall correctly, Eric has told me in personal conversation that CAIS is a form of AGI, just not agent-like AGI. I suspect Eric would agree broadly with Richard’s definition.
I agree that the set of services is intended to, in aggregate, perform any task (that’s what the “Comprehensive” part of of “Comprehensive AI Services” means), and it shares that property with AGI (that’s what the “General” part of “Artificial General Intelligence” means).
There are other properties that Bostrom/Yudkowsky conceptions of AGI have that CAIS doesn’t have, including “searching across long-term plans to find one that achieves a potentially-unbounded goal, which involves deceiving or overpowering humans if they would otherwise try to interfere”.
I don’t particularly care what terminology we use; I just want us to note which properties a given system or set of systems does and does not have.
