Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities throughout a large range of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study recognized 72 active AGI research study and development tasks across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI stays a subject of continuous argument among scientists and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
