Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive abilities across a wide variety of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that considerably goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among 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 study recognized 72 active AGI research and development tasks throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI remains a subject of continuous argument among scientists and professionals. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
