Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities across a wide variety of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to particular jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that considerably goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research study and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research and development projects throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a topic of ongoing debate among scientists and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
