Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities across a wide variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that significantly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about among the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main goal of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study identified 72 active AGI research and advancement jobs across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a topic of continuous argument amongst researchers and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
