Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive capabilities throughout a vast array of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that greatly exceeds human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about among the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study identified 72 active AGI research and tasks across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI remains a subject of continuous debate among researchers and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
