Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (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 jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered one of the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a main goal of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study recognized 72 active AGI research and development jobs throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for attaining AGI stays a topic of continuous dispute among researchers and specialists. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
