Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a kind of expert system (AI) that matches or exceeds human cognitive capabilities across a wide variety of cognitive tasks. This contrasts with narrow AI, which is limited to particular jobs. [1] Artificial superintelligence (ASI), on the other hand, refers to AGI that greatly surpasses human cognitive abilities.
