Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities across a large range of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered among the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main objective of AI research study and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study recognized 72 active AGI research study and development projects across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI remains a topic of continuous argument among scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
