Chapter Outline
Types of Al
Applications of Al

Artificial Intelligence, or Al, means making computers and machines think and act like
humans. For example, robots that can talk, apps that recognize your face, or games that
play against you use Al. It helps make our lives easier by doing things faster and smarter. Al
is used in mobile phones, cars, hospitals, and even in schools. But we must use it carefully

so it helps people in a good way.

Types of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is the ability of machines to think and Al programs like Alpha

learn like humans. There are many types of Al based on Go and Deep Blue
Capabilities and Functionalities have defeated human
champions in Go and
Types of Al based on Capabilities chess, respectively.

Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI):
Artificial Narrow Intelligence, also called Weak Al, is the most

common type of Al used today. This type of Al is designed to do
only one specific task. It cannot think or make decisions outside
of that task. Examples include voice assistants like Siri or Alexa,
face recognition in smartphones, and recommendation systems

on YouTube or Netflix. ΑΝΙ helps make our daily tasks easier, but it is limited to what it is
programmed to do.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI):
Artificial General Intelligence is also known as Strong Al. This
type of Al can think, learn, and solve problems just like a human

being. AGI can perform many different tasks and even improve
its own learning over time. Unlike Narrow AI, AGI is not limited
to one job. However, AGI does not exist yet. Scientists and

engineers are still working to create machines that can truly
think and act like humans.
