Artificial Intelligence

Lecture Notes - 2
(Subject Code: CSC 602, ITC 651)

Prepared by
Dr. Sourabh Jain
Indian Institute of Information Technology Sonepat
Types of Artificial Intelligence
There are mainly two types of Artificial Intelligence:
(1) based on capabilities and
(2) based on functionality
AI type-1: Based on Capabilities
1. Weak AI or Narrow AI:
 Narrow AI is a type of AI which is able to perform a dedicated task with
intelligence. The most common and currently available AI is Narrow AI in the
world of Artificial Intelligence.

 Narrow AI cannot perform beyond its field or limitations, as it is only trained


for one specific task. Hence it is also termed as weak AI. Narrow AI can fail
in unpredictable ways if it goes beyond its limits.

 Some Examples of Narrow AI are playing chess, purchasing suggestions on


e-commerce site, self-driving cars, speech recognition, and image
recognition.
AI type-1: Based on Capabilities
2. General AI:

 General AI is a type of intelligence which could perform any intellectual task


with efficiency like a human.

 The idea behind the general AI to make such a system which could be
smarter and think like a human by its own.

 Currently, there is no such system exist which could come under general AI
and can perform any task as perfect as a human.

 General AI are still under research, and it will take lots of efforts and time to
develop.
AI type-1: Based on Capabilities
3. Super AI:
 Super AI is a level of Intelligence of Systems at which machines could
surpass human intelligence, and can perform any task better than human
with cognitive properties. It is an outcome of general AI.
 Some key characteristics of strong AI include capability include the ability to
think, to reason, solve the puzzle, make judgments, plan, learn, and
communicate by its own.
Artificial Intelligence type-2: Based on functionality
1. Reactive Machines
Purely reactive machines are the most basic types of Artificial Intelligence.
Such AI systems do not store memories or past experiences for future actions.
These machines only focus on current scenarios and react on it as per possible
best action.
IBM's Deep Blue system and Google's AlphaGo is an example of reactive
machines.
2. Limited Memory
Limited memory machines can store past experiences or some data for a short
period of time.
These machines can use stored data for a limited time period only.
Self-driving cars are one of the best examples of Limited Memory systems.
These cars can store recent speed of nearby cars, the distance of other cars,
speed limit, and other information to navigate the road.
Artificial Intelligence type-2: Based on functionality
3. Theory of Mind

 Theory of Mind AI should understand the human emotions, people, beliefs, and be
able to interact socially like humans.

 This type of AI machines are still not developed, but researchers are making lots of
efforts and improvement for developing such AI machines.

4. Self-Awareness

 Self-awareness AI is the future of Artificial Intelligence. These machines will be super


intelligent, and will have their own consciousness, sentiments, and self-awareness.

 These machines will be smarter than human mind.

 Self-Awareness AI does not exist in reality still and it is a hypothetical concept.
