Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities across a wide range of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that greatly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered one of the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main goal of AI research study and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study identified 72 active AGI research and development tasks across 37 nations. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI stays a topic of continuous dispute among researchers and professionals. As of 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
