Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive capabilities throughout 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, refers to AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered one of the definitions 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 tasks across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI stays a topic of ongoing dispute among researchers and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
