Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities across a wide variety of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that greatly surpasses human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered among the meanings 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 identified 72 active AGI research and advancement tasks across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a topic of continuous argument among scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
