Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive capabilities across a large range of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about among the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research study and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey recognized 72 active AGI research study and advancement jobs throughout 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a subject of ongoing dispute among scientists and specialists. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
