Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities across a vast array of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that greatly exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about one of the meanings of strong AI.

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