Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities across a vast array of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that significantly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered one of the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary objective of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research and development jobs throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI remains a topic of continuous dispute amongst scientists and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
