Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a kind of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities across a vast array of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to particular jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that greatly goes beyond human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main objective of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study identified 72 active AGI research study and advancement tasks across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a topic of continuous dispute amongst scientists and professionals. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
