Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a kind of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive abilities throughout 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 goes beyond human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary objective of AI research and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey recognized 72 active AGI research and development projects throughout 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a subject of continuous argument among scientists and professionals. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
