Artificial intelligence is one of the most trending topics in the technology field right now, let's see first what is artificial intelligence in simple terms. AI is a branch of computer science that refers to programming machines to think like humans so they can perform a certain task or a machine that can learn or make decisions on its own.
Then what is ANI & AGI?
There are three main types of AI :
1.Artificial Narrow Intelligence( ANI )
2.Artificial General Intelligence( AGI )
3.Artificilal Super Intelligence ( ASI )
So here we are only going to talk about important ones' ANI and AGI, because ASI is a big topic and most of the part of it is unexplored yet, maybe we will talk about it later.
Artificial Narrow Intelligence ( ANI ) Artificial Narrow Intelligence is the most important and successful type of Artificial intelligence, it is an Intelligence which prominent in performing a single task in which AI outperforms humans in some very narrow tasks. And maybe it doesn’t sound cool to many people but you’ll like it when you get to know more, Because we are using it right now in our day to day life and many companies are investing in and implementing ANI to improve efficiency, cut costs and automate tasks. Most ANI tasks are obtained by machine learning algorithms.
Let’s see the examples of ANI : Self-Driving Cars Facial Recognition Tools Virtual Assistants Recommendation Systems Spam Filters Speech Recognition
Artificial General Intelligence ( AGI ) AGI as the name suggests is General intelligence or human-like intelligence as you have already seen JARVIS in “Iron Man”, it's the future of AI. It allows the machine to apply skills and knowledge in different contexts. It can do many tasks and unlike ANI, AGI can learn and improve. There is much research going on to obtain AGI and some of the AI experts are also said that maybe it cannot be achieved in the next 50 years because human consciousness is one of the miracles of nature, but some of the experts think it would happen before 2060.
