Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities across a large range of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly goes beyond 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 companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study identified 72 active AGI research and development jobs across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a topic of continuous argument among researchers and professionals. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
