Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities across a large range of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that greatly goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about among the definitions 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 determined 72 active AGI research study and advancement tasks throughout 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a topic of ongoing dispute among scientists and specialists. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
