Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive abilities throughout a wide variety of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main objective of AI research study and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey recognized 72 active AGI research study and development projects throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI remains a subject of continuous debate among scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
