Artificial Intelligence
Definition
Artificial Intelligence
A field of computer science dedicated to building systems that can replicate human intelligence and answer complex queries.
- AI can be classified into different types based on its capabilities and applications.
- These types often overlap, and the boundaries between them are not always clear-cut.
Weak AI (Narrow AI)
- AI systems that are designed and trained for a specific task.
- Limited Scope: Weak AI is specialized in performing specific tasks and cannot generalize its knowledge to other areas.
Domain-Specific AI
- AI systems that excel in a particular field or domain, often outperforming humans in that area.
- Specialized Expertise: Domain-specific AI is designed to excel in a particular field, such as medical diagnosis or game playing.
AlphaGo: Developed by DeepMind, AlphaGo is an AI system that mastered the game of Go, a complex board game with more possible moves than there are atoms in the universe. It defeated the world champion, showcasing the power of domain-specific AI.
Strong AI (Full AI or Artificial General Intelligence)
- AI systems that possess human-like intelligence, with the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across various domains.
- Human-Like Intelligence: Strong AI aims to replicate human cognitive abilities, including consciousness, self-awareness, and emotions.
