Weak AI involves creating machines that perform tasks previously done by humans, like ATMs replacing bank tellers, without claiming to understand intelligence. Strong AI proposes that cognition is computation, aiming to create genuine intelligence. AGI, artificial general intelligence, seeks to bridge weak and strong AI by achieving general problem-solving abilities.
