What is the difference between AI, AGI, superintelligence and ASI?
AI is the broad field. AGI is AI with human-level breadth across many tasks, with no single agreed definition. Superintelligence, also called ASI, is a hypothetical level of machine intelligence far above human performance, and it describes no product sold today.
The full answer
AI is the broad field, and in practice means today's systems built for particular kinds of work, such as chat assistants, coding tools and image generators. AGI (artificial general intelligence) is a term for AI with human-level breadth across many kinds of task. There is no single agreed definition or test, so a claim that a system is or is not AGI should say which definition it means.
Superintelligence is a hypothetical level of machine intelligence that greatly exceeds human performance across most areas, and ASI (artificial superintelligence) is the same idea under another name. Definitions differ among researchers and institutions, and the term does not describe any product sold today.
