Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a kind of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive abilities across a wide variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to particular jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered one of the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey identified 72 active AGI research study and development projects across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a topic of ongoing dispute among scientists and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
