Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities throughout 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, refers to AGI that greatly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about among the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main objective of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study identified 72 active AGI research and development tasks across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI remains a topic of ongoing argument amongst researchers and specialists. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
