Artificial Intelligence (AI) encompasses a wide range of technologies beyond popular tools like ChatGPT and Alexa. Understanding its seven main types is crucial:
- Narrow AI (ANI): Specialized for specific tasks, unable to learn independently.
- Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Theoretical AI that can learn and perform a variety of tasks like humans.
- Artificial Superintelligence (ASI): AI that surpasses human abilities, theorized to evolve rapidly.
- Reactive Machine AI: Responds to stimuli in real-time, lacking memory retention.
- Limited Memory AI: Can store past data to improve future tasks, widely used currently.
- Theory of Mind AI: Theoretical AI that understands human emotions and interactions.
- Self-Aware AI: The ultimate, hypothetical stage where machines possess self-awareness.
AI is further categorized into functionality types like machine learning and natural language processing, enabling applications in robotics and computer vision, enhancing efficiency and capability across various sectors.
