Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities throughout a wide variety of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to specific tasks. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, describes AGI that greatly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among 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 and development projects across 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for achieving AGI remains a topic of ongoing debate among scientists and specialists. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or decades
