Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities throughout a wide variety of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that considerably exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about one of the definitions 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 survey identified 72 active AGI research study and advancement jobs throughout 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a topic of ongoing dispute amongst researchers and specialists. Since 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
