Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of highly autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) intended to match or surpass human cognitive capabilities across most or all economically valuable cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to specific tasks.

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.

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.[9] AGI is a common topic in science fiction and futures studies.

Contention exists over whether AGI represents an existential risk. Many experts on AI have stated that mitigating the risk of human extinction posed by AGI should be a global priority. Others find the development of AGI to be in too remote a stage to present such a risk.
