Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a kind of expert system (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive capabilities throughout a vast array of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that significantly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered one of the definitions 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 determined 72 active AGI research study and advancement jobs throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI remains a subject of continuous argument amongst scientists and professionals. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
