Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities throughout a wide variety 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 surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary objective of AI research and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study recognized 72 active AGI research study and development projects throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a subject of ongoing argument among scientists and professionals. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
