Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive abilities throughout a large range of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about among the meanings of strong AI.

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