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 restricted to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that considerably surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered one of the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research study and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey recognized 72 active AGI research study and development projects throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI remains a topic of continuous argument amongst researchers and professionals. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
