Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities across a wide variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that greatly goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main objective of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study recognized 72 active AGI research study and development tasks throughout 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI stays a subject of ongoing argument among scientists and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
