Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive capabilities across a large variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among 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 determined 72 active AGI research study and development tasks throughout 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a topic of ongoing dispute among scientists and professionals. Since 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
