Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a kind of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities 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, describes AGI that significantly goes beyond human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research study and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey determined 72 active AGI research study and development tasks across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI remains a subject of continuous dispute among scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
