Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of synthetic intelligence (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities across a large range of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to particular tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that significantly goes beyond 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 determined 72 active AGI research study and development jobs across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI stays a topic of ongoing debate among scientists and specialists. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades
