Artificial general intelligence

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities across a wide range of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific tasks.[1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that greatly exceeds human cognitive capabilities. AGI is considered one of the definitions of strong AI.

Creating AGI is a primary goal of AI research and of companies such as OpenAI[2] and Meta.[3] A 2020 survey identified 72 active AGI research and development projects across 37 countries.[4]

The timeline for achieving AGI remains a subject of ongoing debate among researchers and experts. As of 2023, some argue that it may be possible in years or decades; others maintain it might take a century or longer; and a minority believe it may never be achieved.[5] Notable AI researcher Geoffrey Hinton has expressed concerns about the rapid progress towards AGI, suggesting it could be achieved sooner than many expect.[6]

There is debate on the exact definition of AGI and regarding whether modern large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 are early forms of AGI.[7] AGI is a common topic in science fiction and futures studies.[8][9]

Contention exists over whether AGI represents an existential risk.[10][11][12] Many experts on AI have stated that mitigating the risk of human extinction posed by AGI should be a global priority.[13][14] Others find the development of AGI to be too remote to present such a risk.[15][16]
