Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a kind of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities throughout a large range of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly surpasses human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary objective of AI research study and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study identified 72 active AGI research study and advancement tasks throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a subject of continuous argument among researchers and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
