Computer vision, image recognition, audio recognition, speech recognition were somewhat easy when Moore's law kicked in and when computer software industry emerged. But AGI is whole another beast. For general intelligence you need to have underlying infrastructure that runs it and guides it just like nervous system does for us people or like operating system does for computers. You can not for example glue together computer vision and speech recognition and call it intelligence when all it does is recognize what it sees and what it hears.
