Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a kind of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities across a vast array of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly surpasses human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about one of the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary objective of AI research study and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey identified 72 active AGI research and advancement projects throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI remains a topic of ongoing debate amongst scientists and professionals. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
