Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities throughout a wide variety 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 considerably goes beyond human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about one of the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research study and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey recognized 72 active AGI research study and development projects throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI remains a topic of ongoing dispute amongst scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
