Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and reacts like humans.
Some applications of AI include expert systems, speech recognition and machine vision.
But can we really call this AI , yes but this is not the Ultimate goal of AI , developers looking to create Machines more smarter than Humans , which leads many to warn from this step.
Elon Musk believes that the advancement in technology can create super intelligence that can threaten human existence.
This smart than Human AI ( we call it Artificial Super Intelligence ASI ) could be presented as network of computing power, it can be a human-computer interface(hybrid) or it can be a biologically advanced brain.
But we still far away from that, we did not even reach yet the point where AI machine can be smart as human beings. (We call it Artificial General Intelligence AGI )
The Singularity Summit (2012) predicted this may happen around 2040 based on inputs from experts.
Most of the AI systems in place today are Weak Artificial Intelligence (WAI), which were designed to solve a specific problem.
Such as AlphaGo, who beat human champions in board game.
AI Types:
- Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) , where machines are intelligent & smart more than human beings.
- Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) , where machines are intelligent & smart as human beings. This also what we call AI-complete.
- Weak Artificial Intelligence (WAI), where machines are intelligent & smart less than human beings in general while it could be smarter in specific task or set of tasks.
We are moving from WAI to AGI but slowly
