The 7 Types of AI - we only talk about 3 of them 🤖
AI isn't a one-size-fits-all technology.
Did you know AI is broadly classified into seven types?
Here's a peek into these categories, to help understand the AI ecosystem better:
🤖 Capabilities based AI
â‘ Narrow AI (Weak AI): Present-day AI, adept at specific tasks. Think of a chess-playing computer.
â‘¡ Artificial General Intelligence (AGI or Strong AI): Still theoretical, this AI could autonomously apply learned skills to new tasks.
â‘¢ Artificial Super AI: A future concept where AI could surpass human cognitive abilities, potentially developing emotions and self-awareness.
🦾 Functionalities based AI
â‘£ Reactive Machine AI: Tailored for specialized tasks like IBM's Deep Blue in chess.
⑤ Limited Memory AI: These AIs, like advanced chatbots, use past experiences for decision-making.
â‘¥ Theory of Mind AI: (Theoretical) This type would understand human emotions and motives.
⑦ Self-Aware AI: (Theoretical) Capable of introspection and understanding its own state and emotions.
Interestingly, only three of these types (Narrow AI, Reactive Machine AI and Limited Memory AI) currently exist, but the future holds immense potential.
Here's why understanding these types matters:
- ✅ Identify AI Potential: Recognize how various AI types can revolutionize your industry.
- ✅ Separate Hype from Reality: Understand the true advancements in AI beyond marketing fluff.
- ✅ Drive Ethical Discussions: Navigate the complex societal implications of AI, from bias to data privacy.
