Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a kind of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities 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, refers to AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered one of the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary objective of AI research study and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey identified 72 active AGI research and development jobs throughout 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a subject of ongoing debate among researchers and professionals. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
