Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities across a wide variety of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that greatly exceeds human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the meanings of strong AI.

The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a topic of ongoing dispute amongst scientists and professionals. Since 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
