Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses 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 greatly goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary objective of AI research and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study identified 72 active AGI research and advancement tasks across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI remains a subject of continuous debate among researchers and professionals. Since 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
