Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities throughout a wide variety of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered 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 survey identified 72 active AGI research and development projects across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a topic of continuous dispute amongst scientists and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
