While narrow AI may outperform humans such as playing chess or solving equations, but its effect is still weak. The new development of the long-term goal of many researchers is to create strong AI or artificial general intelligence (AGI) which is the speculative intelligence of a machine that has the capacity to understand or learn any intelligent task human being can, thus assisting human to unravel the confronted problem. Although this weak AI seems to be helpful to human living, there are still some think weak AI could be dangerous because weak AI could cause disruptions in the electric grid or may damage nuclear power plants when malfunctioned. Many currently existing systems that claim to use “AI” are likely operating as a weak AI focusing on a narrowly defined specific function. The first is weak AI, also known as narrow AI that is designed to perform a narrow task, such as facial recognition or Internet Siri search or self-driving car. ĭ IFFERENT TYPES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEįrom the functions and abilities provided by AI, we can distinguish two different types. Īlong with the rapid development of cybernetic technology in recent years, AI has been seen almost in all our life circles, and some of that may no longer be regarded as AI because it is so common in daily life that we are much used to it such as optical character recognition or the Siri (speech interpretation and recognition interface) of information searching equipment on computer. The term AI is used to describe these functions of human-made tool that emulates the “cognitive” abilities of the natural intelligence of human minds. In short, it is an intelligence designed by humans and demonstrated by machines. ĭespite the different definitions, the common understanding of AI is that it is associated with machines and computers to help humankind solve problems and facilitate working processes. Others see it as “a system” with the ability to correctly interpret external data, to learn from such data, and to use those learnings to achieve specific goals and tasks through flexible adaptation. Some see it as the machine that replaces human labor to work for men a more effective and speedier result.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has many different definitions some see it as the created technology that allows computers and machines to function intelligently.
