Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities across a wide variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that greatly exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main goal of AI research study and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research and development tasks across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI stays a topic of ongoing debate amongst researchers and professionals. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
