Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a vast and rapidly evolving field. In this module, we will explore the different types of AI that exist today. Understanding these types is crucial for anyone looking to delve deeper into the world of AI.
Types of AI
1. Narrow AI (Weak AI)
Narrow AI, also known as Weak AI, is designed to perform a specific task. Examples include speech recognition, image recognition, and playing chess. This type of AI is limited to its designated function and cannot perform tasks outside of its programming.
2. General AI (Strong AI)
General AI, also known as Strong AI, is an AI that can perform any intellectual task that a human can. This type of AI is still largely theoretical and not yet fully developed. It is often depicted in science fiction as a sentient being with human-like intelligence.
3. Artificial Superintelligence (ASI)
Artificial Superintelligence refers to AI that surpasses human intelligence in all domains. This concept is highly speculative and raises many ethical and philosophical questions. The potential impact of ASI on society is a topic of ongoing debate.
