Three Key Types of AI
- AI comes in three types: Narrow AI specializes in specific tasks, General AI aims to think like humans, and Superintelligent AI surpasses human intelligence broadly.
- Current AI excels in narrow domains but future superintelligent AI raises ethical and safety concerns about control and alignment.
Narrow AI's Limits
- Narrow AI excels at specialized tasks but cannot adapt or generalize outside its programming.
- Examples include Siri managing schedules but failing at cooking or Alexa ordering food but not predicting long-term weather.
General AI Still Theoretical
- General AI aspires to human-like flexibility, adapting and thinking across multiple domains.
- Despite extensive research, true General AI remains theoretical and distant from current capabilities.
