TYPES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be broadly categorized into three main types:-
1. Narrow or Weak AI
2. General or Strong AI
3. Artificial Super Intelligence

Narrow or Weak AI:- Definition: AI systems designed and trained for a specific task. Example: Virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa, image recognition software, and chatbots fall under narrow AI.

General or Strong AI:- Definition: AI systems with the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks, similar to human intelligence. Example: True general AI does not currently exist, and its development remains a theoretical goal.

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI):- Definition: An advanced form of AI surpassing human intelligence in every aspect. Example: Hypothetical and often discussed in the context of potential future advancements. It raises ethical and existential considerations. These categories can also be viewed in terms of AI capabilities:

Reactive Machines:- Follow predefined rules and respond to specific inputs. Limited to the programmed knowledge and lack learning capabilities.

Limited Memory:- Can learn from historical data to make better decisions. Common in applications like self-driving cars.Theory of Mind (ToM): Theoretical AI that could understand human emotions, beliefs, intentions, and apply this understanding to interact more naturally.

Self-Aware AI:- A level of AI that has consciousness and self-awareness, understanding its own state and existence. As of now, most AI applications fall under narrow or weak AI, with ongoing research aiming to advance the field toward the development of more sophisticated AI systems.
