Introduction

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries and transforming how we live and work. Within AI, two primary types stand out: Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). These two branches represent different levels of AI capability, with ANI being prevalent today and AGI being a future goal. Understanding the differences between ANI and AGI is key to grasping the current state and potential future of AI.

Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI)

Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), also known as Weak AI, refers to AI systems designed to perform a specific task. ANI is already integrated into our daily lives and powers many of the tools and services we rely on.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), often referred to as Strong AI, represents a more advanced form of AI. AGI would have the ability to perform any intellectual task that a human can, with the capacity to learn, adapt, and understand across multiple domains.
