Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities throughout a wide variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to particular jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that significantly goes beyond human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered one of the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main objective of AI research and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey determined 72 active AGI research study and advancement projects throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a topic of ongoing argument amongst researchers and specialists. Since 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
