Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a kind of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or goes beyond human cognitive capabilities throughout a large range of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to particular jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among 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 and development jobs throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a subject of continuous argument amongst scientists and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
