Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive abilities throughout a wide variety 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 surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered one of the meanings of strong AI.
