Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities across a vast array of cognitive jobs. 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 capabilities. AGI is considered one of the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study recognized 72 active AGI research and development projects across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a topic of ongoing dispute amongst scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
