Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities across a wide variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that considerably surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered one of the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research study 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 achieving AGI stays a topic of continuous debate amongst researchers and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
