Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities across a wide variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered one of the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research study and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study recognized 72 active AGI research and advancement tasks across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI remains a subject of ongoing debate amongst researchers and professionals. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
