Intelligent Machines
This video explains where we are today with AI, where we’re heading and why the difference between ANI, AGI and ASI could determine the future of humanity.
The term Artificial Intelligence (AI) is often applied to any software program designed to analyze patterns, automate complex jobs or generate content, but there are many different types of AI - some dating back as far as the 1950s.
Here are a few definitions:
-
These are systems that can be trained to perform specific tasks, such as speech recognition, self-driving cars, computer vision and LLMs.
This category basically covers every type of AI we have today.
-
These are systems that can learn and adapt to new situations and tasks, without human intervention.
AGI does not currently exist.
-
These are systems with beliefs and desires of their own, that have cognitive abilities beyond human beings.
ASI is sometimes described as what might happen when AI designs the next generation of AI, without human oversight.
ASI does not currently exist.
