Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities throughout a large range of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that considerably surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the definitions 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 survey identified 72 active AGI research and advancement projects across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a topic of continuous dispute among scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
