Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a kind of expert system (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive abilities across a vast array of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly goes beyond human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered one of the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main goal of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study identified 72 active AGI research study and advancement projects throughout 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI remains a subject of ongoing debate among scientists and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
