Weak artificial intelligence (AI), also known as narrow AI, is a type of AI that is designed to perform a specific task or a limited range of tasks. It excels in its designated area but lacks the general intelligence and adaptability of human-like or strong AI.
Current AI systems like voice assistants and self-driving cars are examples of weak AI. [[[Surprisingly]]]
-
Task-Specific:
Weak AI is built to perform a particular function, such as image recognition, language translation, or recommendation algorithms.
-
Limited Capabilities:
It cannot generalize its knowledge or skills to new or unrelated tasks.
-
No Consciousness:
Weak AI does not possess self-awareness, genuine understanding, or sentience.
-
Relies on Predefined Rules:
It operates within the boundaries of the data and algorithms it was trained on.
-
Examples:
Voice assistants like Siri and Alexa, chatbots, email spam filters, and self-driving car systems are all examples of weak AI.
