<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Artificial general intelligence (AGI) in circular manufacturing practices offers transformative potential for sustainability, competence and global industrial collaboration. This chapter includes the critical role of international guidelines in determining an ethical, unbiased and ecologically responsible AGI manufacturing system. It explores the necessity for coherent global standards to confirm interoperability, security and moral compliance to emphasise the state’s prominence for AGI policy. Ecological sustainability is the primary focus with AGI, located as an enabler of eco-benign manufacturing, carbon reduction and circular economy principles. Ethical governance frameworks are proposed to emphasise fairness, openness and accountability in autonomous decision-making to ensure that AGI aligns with and upholds societal ethical standards. Economic incentives and workforce procedures are examined to stimulate comprehensive progression, reskilling start-ups and adaptive social safety nets. The chapter also discusses global cooperation systems, underlining policy replication and international information exchange to nurture innovation. Furthermore, forthcoming policy prospects predict AGI’s role in intelligent governance and a regenerative industrial economy by 2035. Consistent innovation with moral and sustainable requirements offers a roadmap for industry leaders, policymakers and scholars to navigate the developing landscape of AGI in circular manufacturing.</jats:p>
