Editing Artificial Intelligence AI (section)

== Types of Artificial Intelligence ==

There are two main categories of AI:

=== Narrow AI (Weak AI) ===

'''Narrow AI''' refers to AI systems that are designed to perform a '''specific task'''. These systems are limited in their ability to handle tasks outside of their programmed purpose. Examples of Narrow AI include:
* Virtual assistants (like Siri, Alexa)
* Email filters (spam detection)
* Self-driving cars

Narrow AI is '''task-specific''', meaning it is very good at performing one type of job but cannot generalize to other tasks.

=== General AI (Strong AI) ===

'''General AI''' is a type of AI that would be capable of performing any intellectual task that a human being can do. This type of AI does not yet exist, but it is the long-term goal of AI research. If achieved, General AI would be able to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across different domains, much like a human.
