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

Creating AGI is a main objective of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research study and development tasks across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI stays a subject of ongoing debate amongst researchers and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
