Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive abilities across 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, refers to AGI that greatly exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is thought about one of the definitions 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 and advancement tasks across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a subject of continuous dispute among scientists and professionals. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
