Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a kind of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities throughout a wide range 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 significantly goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary objective of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research study and advancement jobs throughout 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI stays a subject of continuous argument amongst scientists and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
