Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities across a large range of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that considerably exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about among the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main goal of AI research study and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research study and development jobs throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI remains a subject of ongoing argument among researchers and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
