Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a kind of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive abilities across a large range of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to particular jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that greatly goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about one of the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main goal of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey determined 72 active AGI research study and development jobs throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI stays a subject of continuous debate amongst researchers and professionals. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
