Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive abilities throughout a large range of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to particular jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about one of 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 and advancement jobs throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a topic of ongoing debate amongst scientists and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
