Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities throughout a large variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered 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 study determined 72 active AGI research study and development jobs throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a topic of ongoing argument amongst researchers and professionals. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
