Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities across a wide variety of cognitive jobs. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is restricted to particular jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that greatly goes beyond human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered among the meanings of strong AI.

The timeline for accomplishing AGI remains a topic of continuous dispute amongst scientists and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
