Why in the News?
This post discusses the various aspects of Artifical General intelligence and the related technological developments.
What is Artificial General Intelligence?
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is defined as the intelligence of machines that allows them to comprehend, learn, and perform intellectual tasks much like humans. AGI emulates the human mind and behavior to solve any kind of complex problem. AGI is also known as strong AI or Human AI.
What is the difference between Narrow AI and General AI?
Narrow AI is concerned with only simulating human behavior based on a set of rules, parameters, and contexts that they are trained with. On the other hand, general AI mimics human intelligence by going a step beyond. It has the ability to learn and apply its intelligence to solve any problem.
| Specifications | Narrow AI | General AI |
| Learning ability | Narrow AI focuses on a single task under various constraints and limitations. | AGI is envisioned to have the capacity for generalization and adaptation across diverse domains. |
| Operational domain | Fixed domain models provided by programmers | Self learn and reasons with its operating environment |
| Data processing | Narrow AI analyses data by using ML, Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, and Artificial Neural Networks | General AI uses an advanced version of these technologies for analysis. |
| Limitation | Limited to a single task ,lacks broader intelligence | May lack depth in certain areas and have ethical concerns |
| Examples | Virtual assistant, spam filter, image recognition tools. | Self driving cars, advanced chatbot. |
What is OpenAI Project Q*?
1) Project Q* refers to a new AI model being developed the ChatGPT owner OpenAI.
2) Under this project, an AI algorithm has been developed that is capable of solving elementary mathematical problems by itself, including those that are not part of its training data.
3) It demonstrates advanced reasoning capabilities similar to humans and is a significant step towards Artificial General Intelligence.
