Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive abilities across a broad variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to particular jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that greatly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary objective of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey determined 72 active AGI research study and advancement projects across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI remains a subject of ongoing dispute among scientists and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
