Stuart Russell
Artificial Intelligence
The distinction between AI systems that possess genuine intelligence (Strong AI) and those that merely simulate intelligent behavior (Weak AI).
Detailed Explanation
Strong AI refers to machines with genuine understanding and consciousness, capable of performing any intellectual task a human can do. Weak AI, however, only simulates intelligent behavior through programmed responses without true comprehension. Most current AI applications are weak AI, designed for specific tasks, while strong AI remains a theoretical concept with potential for true autonomous reasoning.
Use Cases
- •Weak AI powers virtual assistants like Siri, enabling task automation, while strong AI aims to develop fully autonomous, human-like reasoning systems in the future.
