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

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