  As far as I know, no AGI system has yet been created, so that's why there aren't yet many courses on AGI. However, there are a few courses that attempt to address AGI as the main topic but from different perspectives. Below, I will mention the ones that I found and partially followed, and give some info about them.
  
  ### [MIT 6.S099: Artificial General Intelligence](https://agi.mit.edu/)
  
  This is organized by [Lex Fridman](https://lexfridman.com/). It is a series of lessons and talks primarily given by a diverse set of guest appearances, such as
  
  * [Josh Tenenbaum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ROelYvo8f0) (researcher and professor in computational cognitive science),
  * [Nate Derbinsky](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfO4EkoGh40) (who gives a lesson on cognitive architectures, Soar, etc.),
  * [Stephen Wolfram](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7kX7BuHSFI) (creator of Mathematica, Wolfram Alpha and the Wolfram Language; he talks about his work throughout the years, especially, the development of Wolfram Alpha and Language),
  * [Marc Raibert](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiNSPRKHyvo) (CEO of Boston Dynamics, who gives a lesson on his work at Boston Dynamics and the robots they have developed),
  * [Lisa Feldman Barrett](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwsft6tmvBA) (professor of psychology, who gives a very insightful lesson on emotions and feelings, with possibly different perspectives),
  * [Rosalind Picard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq0VO1FqE6I) (a professor at MIT, director of the Affective Computing Research Group at the MIT Media Lab, and co-founder of two companies, Affectiva and Empatica; in her talk with Lex, she talks about affective computing and other interesting concepts and issues)
  * [Marcus Hutter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1AxVXt2Gv4) (inventor of a mathematical theory of general intelligence, AIXI; in his talk with Lex, he talks about Occam's razor, Solomonoff induction, Kolmogorov complexity, the definition of intelligence, AIXI, rewards, bounded rationality and consciousness)
  
  ### [Knowledge-Based AI: Cognitive Systems](https://www.udacity.com/course/knowledge-based-ai-cognitive-systems--ud409)
  
  It's taught by Ashok Goel and David Joyner. As the name of the courses suggests, this course focuses on knowledge-based AI.
  
  ### [The Society of Mind](https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-868j-the-society-of-mind-fall-2011/video-lectures/lecture-1-introduction/)
  
  This course is taught by Marvin Minsky, who had also written [a book and developed a theory of natural intelligence with the same name](http://www.acad.bg/ebook/ml/Society%20of%20Mind.pdf).
  
  ### [CS 294-149: Safety and Control for Artificial General Intelligence (Fall 2018)](https://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/%7Ecs294-149/fa18/)
  
  I don't think that there are (free) recorded video lectures, but, in the [lecture schedule](https://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/%7Ecs294-149/fa18/#lecture-schedule) section of the course, you have links to references that they use during the course (e.g. [this paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.06565.pdf)), which seems to focus on safety and control aspects of future AGI systems. See also [these notes](https://github.com/HumanCompatibleAI/cs294-149-fa18-notes).
  
  ### [General Theory of General Intelligence](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8nzFqoEOvE&list=PLAJnaovHtaFTK9E1xHnBWZeKtAOhonqH5&index=2&ab_channel=SingularityNET)
  
  This is not really a course, but it's a series of videos by Ben Goertzel, who summarises some of the topics presented in [a paper that the same Ben Goertzel wrote about AGI](https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.15100).
