This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that significantly surpasses human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the meanings of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research study and of companies such as OpenAI [2] and Meta. [3] A 2020 study recognized 72 active AGI research and advancement tasks throughout 37 countries. [4]
The timeline for accomplishing AGI remains a topic of continuous argument amongst scientists and experts. Since 2023, some argue that it might be possible in years or years
