Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a kind of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds 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 surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main goal of AI research and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research and development jobs across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI remains a topic of continuous argument amongst scientists and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
