Artificial Intelligence

What is in the News ?

• AI is the digital distillation of a technological revolution that is facilitating the long-overdue evolution of the human mind. AI, as fear-inducing as anything disruptive and new is, can galvanise, turbo-charge, and trigger new avenues of intelligence in human minds. These new avenues can enable us to understand and attack society’s greatest challenges today.
• What a layman does not know is that AI can traditionally be divided into AGI and ANI. Theorists and AI experts call this Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI). AGI is designed to be capable of performing a wide variety of intellectual tasks, while ANI is designed to perform a single or a narrow set of related tasks.

Artificial General Intelligence

• Designed to perform a wide variety of intellectual tasks without human intervention
• It works on the Unsupervised learning approach means that the AI system can learn from data without being explicitly programmed to do so.
• It continues to learn and make decisions (based on incomplete or uncertain information) that even its creators cannot possibly predict.
• In the realm of theoretical research and development.

 Artificial Narrow Intelligence

• Designed to perform a single or a narrow set of related tasks.
• Not necessarily capable of reasoning or learning in the way that humans do.
• Typically trained using machine learning algorithms such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, or reinforcement learning.
• Widespread use in a variety of industries and applications
• For example, ChatGPT – is a chatbot which allows users to engage in a conversation about a variety of topics.
