Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a kind of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities throughout a vast array of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to particular jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary objective of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study determined 72 active AGI research and advancement projects across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI remains a subject of ongoing argument among scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
