    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of machines to mimic human thinking and decision-making.
                      It helps computers learn from data and perform tasks like recognising speech or images. AI is
                      used in everyday technology, such as virtual assistants and recommendation systems. Artificial
                      Intelligence can be broadly classified into several types based on capabilities, functionalities and
                      technologies. Lets learn about them in detail.

                                CATEGORIES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

                      The three categories of Artificial Intelligence are: Narrow AI, General AI and Super AI.

                      NARROW AI

                      Narrow AI systems are intelligent systems that are programmed to perform a specific task. In
                      other words, this technology is designed to work on narrowly defined tasks intelligently.

                      Examples  of Narrow  AI around  us include  Alexa, Google  Assistant,  Siri, audio-visual  feed,
                      self-driven  cars, facial recognition tools,  customer service  bots that  redirect inquiries on web
                      pages, spam filters that keep our inbox clean, etc.

                      GENERAL AI

                      Artificial General Intelligence or Strong AI, has the capability of understanding a vast scope
                      of activities that allows the machine to apply knowledge and skills in a different context. This
                      is considered an intelligence that closely mirrors human intelligence, as shown through movie
                      characters like R2-D2 in Star Wars, Jarvis in Iron Man and The Terminator.

                      To match human intelligence, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) needs to resemble the cognitive

                      abilities of humans so that it is able to transfer its learning from one environment to another, use
                      common sense, work collaboratively with other machines and attain consciousness.

                      SUPER AI

                      This category of AI is hypothetical and yet to be created. But, the concept of this technology is
                      to build machines that are superior to humans in every aspect. This means Super AI will be self
                      aware like humans. In other words, Super AI will be able to make decisions logically and rationally

                      while exhibiting emotions at the same time with 100% accuracy.
