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 tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that greatly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about one of the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main objective of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey identified 72 active AGI research and development jobs across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI stays a subject of continuous dispute amongst scientists and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
