Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive capabilities across a large range of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that greatly goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary objective of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research and advancement projects throughout 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI remains a topic of continuous argument among scientists and professionals. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
