Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive capabilities across a large range of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that greatly exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered 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 determined 72 active AGI research study and advancement tasks across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI stays a topic of continuous argument amongst scientists and professionals. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
