Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities across a wide variety 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 abilities. AGI is thought about one of 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 study recognized 72 active AGI research study and development projects throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI stays a topic of ongoing dispute among researchers and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
