Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities across a vast array of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about among 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 determined 72 active AGI research and advancement projects across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI remains a topic of ongoing debate amongst scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
