[1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that significantly goes beyond human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main objective of AI research study and of business such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research study and development jobs across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a topic of continuous debate amongst scientists and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
