  A human-level AI should be able to learn and behave in the same way that humans learn and behave, otherwise, we shouldn't be calling it a human-level AI. So, either if it starts with more or less knowledge of a baby human, it should be able to learn similarly to a human and acquire more knowledge with experience.
  
  > What is the apparent level of education of an artificial intelligence that could be called human-like?
  
  To answer you question more directly, the level of education of a human-like AI (even newly created ones) can potentially be variable (i.e. different human-like AIs could potentially have different levels of education), but the human-like AI will necessarily need to be able to increase its level of education and, in general, knowledge (because humans can also do this).
  
  Moreover, note that [AGI is not necessarily restricted to human-level AI](https://content.sciendo.com/view/journals/jagi/5/1/article-p1.xml). So, other AGIs may not follow the same principles of humans.
