Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a kind of expert system (AI) that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities across a wide variety 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 goes beyond human cognitive abilities. AGI is thought about among the meanings of strong AI.
