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

Creating AGI is a primary objective of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey recognized 72 active AGI research study and advancement jobs throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI stays a topic of ongoing debate among scientists and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
