Understanding AI
AI is a broad field, covering many approaches and techniques to create smarter, more capable systems.
Narrow AI
- Focuses on specific tasks like voice recognition or recommendation systems
- Examples: Siri (voice commands), Netflix recommendations, spam filters
- Highly efficient at specialized tasks, already integrated into many daily technologies
General AI
- Aims for human-level understanding across many domains
- Examples: Research projects working toward systems that can reason, learn, and solve novel problems independently
- Could potentially solve complex multi-disciplinary problems, adapt to new situations without specific programming
