Yes. When we think AGI often we think of one unit. Human GI is absolutely multi-agent. One human dies isolated from the species. Perhaps AGI can be one unit but that unit is internally multi-agent, not as much as a society of very differently structured synergistic agents as in one human mind but as a collection of similar agents networked as in a human society.
