Types of Artificial Intelligence

Students will learn how AI can be categorized according to its capabilities and functionality.

Narrow AI

Narrow AI, also called weak AI, is designed to perform specific tasks.

Examples include:

• Voice recognition
• Recommendation systems
• Image classification
• Translation
• Spam detection

Most AI systems currently used in the real world fall into this category.

Artificial General Intelligence

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) refers to a theoretical form of AI capable of performing a broad range of intellectual tasks with general-purpose abilities comparable to humans.

AGI remains a research concept rather than an established technology.

Superintelligence

AI superintelligence refers to a hypothetical system whose intellectual capabilities would significantly exceed those of humans across a broad range of tasks.

Students will understand the difference between existing AI technologies and theoretical future concepts.
