AI is rapidly evolving. Artificial Super Intelligence could be here sooner than expected.
The different types of AI depend on the level of intelligence embedded into a robot. We can clearly categorize AI into three types:
Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI)
Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), also known as Narrow AI or Weak AI, is a type of Artificial Intelligence focused on one single narrow task. It possesses a narrow-range of abilities. This is the only AI in existence today, for now.
Narrow AI is something most of us interact with on a daily basis. Think of Google Assistant, Google Translate, Siri, Cortana, or Alexa. They are all machine intelligence that use Natural Language Processing (NLP).
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
When we talk about Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) we refer to a type of AI that is about as capable as a human.
However, AGI is still an emerging field. Since the human brain is the model to creating General Intelligence, it seems unlike that will happen relatively soon because there is lack of a comprehensive knowledge of the functionality of the human brain.
Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI)
Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) is way into the future. Or, that is what we believe. To reach this point and to be called an ASI, an AI will need to surpass humans at absolutely everything. The ASI type is achieved when AI is more capable than a human.
