Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a kind of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities across a vast array 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 exceeds human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research and advancement tasks across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a subject of continuous debate amongst scientists and specialists. Since 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
