Let’s focus on the three types of AI you’ll encounter in real life:
1. Narrow AI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence – ANI) (What We Use Today)
- What it is: AI designed to perform a single task or a limited set of tasks.
- Examples:
- Voice assistants (Siri, Alexa).
- Recommendation systems (Netflix, Spotify).
- Self-driving cars.
- Tools like ChatGPT or DeepSeek.
- Key Trait: Excels at specific tasks but lacks general reasoning or consciousness.
- Status: The only type of AI that exists today.
2. General AI (Artificial General Intelligence – AGI)
- What it is: Hypothetical AI with human-like cognitive abilities—it can learn, reason, and adapt to any intellectual task.
- Example: A machine that can write a novel, solve complex physics problems, and learn a new language with human-level proficiency.
- Key Trait: Self-aware and capable of abstract thinking.
- Status: Not yet achieved; remains a theoretical goal.
3. Superintelligent AI (Artificial Superintelligence – ASI)
- What it is: AI that surpasses human intelligence in all domains, including creativity, problem-solving, and social skills.
- Example: A system that solves global challenges like climate change or disease eradication far more effectively than humans.
- Key Trait: Outperforms the brightest human minds in every field.
- Status: Purely speculative; exists only in science fiction and philosophical debates.
