Types of Artificial Intelligence

Type 1 – Based on Capabilities

Artificial Narrow (Weak) Intelligence (ANI) – applying the AI only to specific tasks or specific types of
problems. It focuses on one particular task that can be performed better when compared to humans.
Examples of weak artificial intelligence: voice assistant (e.g. Siri), automatic translator (Google
Translator, Deepl), self-driving cars (Tesla), Smartphone apps, image identification tools, spam filters,
etc. At this stage, the machine does not have the ability to think, it only performs a set of pre-defined
functions.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) - A kind of Intelligence that is also known as the Strong AI. These
are all machines that have the ability to think and that are able to make decisions just like people. At
present we do not have any examples of a strong AI, but thanks to the rapid development of
technology, we will soon be able to create machines that are as intelligent as people. These systems
will have many possibilities covering different areas. They will be able to react and improvise just like
people in the face of unprecedented scenarios. A strong AI is seen by scientists as a threat to human
existence. Scientists fear that it will compete with people and, as a result, replace them.

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) – ASI will be the highest point of development for Artificial
Intelligence and will be the strongest form of intelligence ever to exist on Earth. Thanks to an
extremely high level of data processing, memory and decision-making capabilities, machines will be
able to perform all tasks better than humans. Scientists fear that the emergence of this intelligence
