Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a kind of expert system (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive capabilities throughout a wide variety 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 goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey identified 72 active AGI research and development projects across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a subject of ongoing argument amongst researchers and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
