Artificial basic intelligence (AGI) is a type of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive abilities 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 significantly exceeds human cognitive abilities. AGI is considered among the meanings of strong AI.

The timeline for accomplishing AGI remains a subject of ongoing dispute amongst scientists and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or years
