Narrow AI and Generalized AI

Two types of AI, with Narrow AI focusing on specific tasks and Generalized AI having broader capabilities.

Narrow or weak AI

refers to training in performing a specific task, can perform one thing well, and has a narrow scope of expertise

Generalized or strong AI

refers to the ability to learn and adapt to new situations, can perform a wide range of tasks or near a human like level. it can also understand and adapt to broad, complex, unanticipated experiences
