Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive abilities across a wide variety 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 goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about one of the meanings 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 survey identified 72 active AGI research and advancement jobs throughout 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a subject of ongoing debate among scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
