Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive abilities across a broad variety of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that considerably surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about among the meanings 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 survey recognized 72 active AGI research study and advancement projects across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI stays a subject of continuous dispute amongst scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
