What is AI?
AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a technology capable of problem-solving in a way that resembles human intelligence. AI operates by simulating human cognition, using data and algorithms to enable machines to “learn” or “understand” autonomously.
This includes capabilities such as data analysis, voice recognition, image recognition, and natural language understanding.
AI tools use artificial intelligence to generate new creations through Generative AI. This enables users to bring their ideas to life in forms such as images, videos, sounds, or other types of content.
By combining the user’s vision with AI’s generative capabilities, AI tools produce the desired results even if the final creation never existed before.
Types of AI
ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence) :
ANI, or Narrow AI, is designed to perform specific tasks or functions within a limited domain. It is unable to operate beyond its programmed skills and lacks generalization abilities.
Examples include e-commerce recommendation systems, customer service chatbots, facial recognition systems, and language translation tools.
AGI (Artificial General Intelligence):
AGI is AI with the capacity to understand, learn, and make decisions with intelligence comparable to human cognitive abilities.
AGI can comprehend reasoning, general human language, and adapt to new experiences and situations as humans do, without needing human intervention.
Examples might include self-driving cars and home assistant robots capable of making autonomous decisions.
ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence):
ASI refers to AI with intellectual capabilities far surpassing human intelligence in every aspect, particularly in creative thinking and complex problem-solving.
Currently, ASI remains a theoretical concept, and its development raises ethical concerns, such as the potential for AI to surpass human control or even dominate human existence.
