Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities across a wide variety of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to particular jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that greatly goes beyond human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research study and advancement tasks throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI stays a subject of ongoing debate amongst researchers and specialists. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
