Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive abilities across a vast array of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that significantly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered one of the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main objective of AI research study and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey recognized 72 active AGI research study and development projects across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a topic of continuous debate among scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
