Weak Artificial Intelligence
Narrow AI, also known as weak AI, refers to artificial intelligence systems designed to perform specific tasks. Unlike general AI, which would have the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of activities, narrow AI is specialized and operates within a limited domain. Examples include voice assistants like Siri or Alexa, recommendation systems, and image recognition software. While these systems can perform their designated functions efficiently, they lack consciousness, genuine understanding, or general reasoning capabilities. The development of weak AI has advanced significantly and is widely used in various industries, but it remains distinct from the concept of strong or general AI, which would possess human-like intelligence.
