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 the 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 limitations and can function efficiently even under harsh conditions. Similarly, AI also
                 has some other advantages over human intelligence.
