Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities across a vast array of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that greatly goes beyond human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research study and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey identified 72 active AGI research study and development projects across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a topic of ongoing argument among researchers and specialists. Since 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
