Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive abilities throughout a large range 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 considerably goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about among the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary objective of AI research study and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 survey determined 72 active AGI research and advancement tasks across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a topic of ongoing debate among scientists and specialists. Since 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
