Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive abilities throughout 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 considerably goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered one of the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main goal of AI research study and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research and advancement projects throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI stays a subject of continuous debate amongst researchers and specialists. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
