Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive abilities across a large range of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that significantly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about among the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research study and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study recognized 72 active AGI research and advancement tasks throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI remains a subject of ongoing debate amongst scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
