Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities throughout a vast array 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 one of the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research study and advancement projects across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a subject of continuous dispute amongst scientists and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
