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 specific tasks. 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, Cortana, 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 machines 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.

                     ADVANTAGES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE


            It is a widely known fact that the capabilities of the human mind vary from time to time, situation
            to situation, their surroundings, and physical and mental exertion. Whereas, AI, on the other hand,
            has no such limitation and can function efficiently even under harsh conditions. Similarly, AI also
            has some other advantages over human intelligence.
