Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive abilities across a wide variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that considerably goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about 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 and development jobs throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a subject of continuous dispute among researchers and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
