What is artificial intelligence (AI)?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the theory and development of computer systems capable of performing tasks that historically required human intelligence, such as recognizing speech, making decisions, and identifying patterns.

What are some examples of strong AI?

Strong AI, also called artificial general intelligence (AGI), possesses the full range of human capabilities, including talking, reasoning, and emoting. So far, strong AI examples exist in sci-fi movies like A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, WALL-E, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Faster and more efficient than humans.

What is the difference between strong and weak AI?

All AI uses machine learning to constantly improve as it takes in new information. The major difference between weak and strong AI is that weak AI is programmed to perform a single task. The task could be very complex, like driving a car, or as simple as recommending movies to watch. All real-world examples of AI fall under the category of weak AI.

What are the limitations of strong AI?

New technologies are hard to predict. Limits of strong AI are a subject of strong debate. Whereas weak AI is constrained in the type of tasks it can perform, strong AI can learn new skills to solve any problem. In addition to doing the job it was designed for, strong AI could theoretically develop its own goals, just like a human.
