Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a kind of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive abilities throughout a vast array of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that considerably exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered one of the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main goal of AI research study and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study recognized 72 active AGI research and development tasks across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI stays a topic of continuous argument among researchers and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
