AI Type | Artificial Intelligence

By

 Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a crucial component of contemporary technology, altering human lives and industries. The future is being shaped by AI, from voice assistants to self-driving cars. However, AI is not a single idea; rather, it takes on several forms according to its functionality and capabilities. This blog will examine the various forms of artificial intelligence and its effects on our environment.

AI Types Depending on Capabilities
Based on its degree of intelligence and task-performance capabilities, artificial intelligencecan be divided into three primary categories.

Figure 1: AI Types Depending on Capabilities


1. Weak AI, or narrow AI
Weak AI, sometimes referred to as narrow AI, is made to efficiently do particular jobs. It is unable to carry out duties beyond its predetermined capabilities, nevertheless. This kind of AI can only perform what it has been trained to do; it lacks the capacity for human-like reasoning.                                                                                                                                               

For instance:

·         Google Assistant, Alexa, and Siri are examples of voice assistants.

·         Netflix and YouTube are examples of recommendation systems.

·         Chatbots: Customer service bots that answer questions for users.

·         Autonomous Vehicles: AI is used by self-driving automobiles to navigate and make decisions.

 

2. Strong AI (General AI)
Strong AI, also known as general AI, is a sophisticated type of intelligence that, like humans, is able to comprehend, learn, and apply information in a variety of fields. It is capable of independent thought, reasoning, and problem-solving. This degree of AI is still a theoretical idea and has not yet been fully developed.
Possible Uses:

·         robots with human-like cognition and decision-making abilities.

·         AI that doesn't need to be reprogrammed in order to acquire new abilities.

·         solutions that are completely independent and adaptable to various sectors.

3. Artificial Superintelligence, or Super AI
A hypothetical type of artificial intelligence known as "super AI" is superior to humans in every way, including creativity, problem-solving, and judgment. If Super AI is realized, it may usher in a day when machines surpass people in all intellectual domains. The scientific community is still debating and speculating about this type of AI, though.
Imaginary Illustrations:

·         AI with feelings and conscience of its own.

·         sophisticated robots that are superior to humans at any task.

·         AI capable of autonomous innovation and scientific research.

 

AI Types according to Functionality
Additionally, AI can be categorized according to its operation and data interaction.

 

Figure 2: AI Types according to Functionality



1. Machines that react
The simplest type of artificial intelligence is reactive machines, which react to particular stimuli without having any memory or capacity for learning. These AI systems can only carry out preset tasks and don't retain prior knowledge.
For instance:

·         World chess champion Garry Kasparov was defeated by IBM's Deep Blue, an AI that plays the game.

·         AlphaGo, an AI developed by Google, is a master at the board game Go.

 

2. AI with Limited Memory
Restricted Memory AI is able to make decisions by analysing historical data. Although its short-term memory aids in better decision-making, it is unable to retain long-term memories.
For instance:

·         AI-powered self-driving cars can recognize traffic patterns and make necessary adjustments.

·         Chatbots are AI assistants that can recall previous exchanges to deliver more insightful answers.

·         Streaming platforms that make content recommendations based on user history are known as recommendation systems.

3. Theory of Mind AI, which is still in development
Mental Theory AI systems that are able to comprehend human emotions, beliefs, and social relationships are referred to as AI. By interacting with people on an emotional and cognitive level, this type of AI seeks to improve the naturalness of interactions and conversations.
Possible Uses:

·         AI-driven counsellors and therapists.

·         robots that resemble humans and are capable of having deep conversations.

·         AI in customer support that is sensitive to consumer feelings.

4. Self-Aware AI (Probable)
An advanced type of AI with consciousness and self-awareness is called self-aware AI. Like humans, it is capable of independent thought, opinion formation, and emotional comprehension. Despite being entirely speculative, science fiction frequently portrays this idea.
Sci-Fi examples include:

·         An AI system that develops self-awareness and poses a threat to humans is called Skynet (Terminator).

·         Ex Machina's Ava is a humanoid artificial intelligence that has feelings and thoughts of her own.

·         An AI assistant with human-like cognition and problem-solving abilities is Jarvis (Iron Man).

 

Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence are having an impact on many facets of human existence. While researchers are attempting to achieve General AI and possibly Super AI, we now employ Narrow AI in our daily applications. AI's current and future scope can be better understood by classifying it according to its functionality and capabilities. The way we connect with machines will change as AI technology develops and opens up new opportunities. However, responsible development and ethical issues will be essential to ensuring AI serves humanity.

Teacher As: Critical Pedagogue

By
Education is not only a process of cognitive development. It is a process of overall development of the child. The whole teaching learning process consist with three important components i.e student, teacher and curriculum. In the process of curriculum construction, evaluation and feedbacks are an important aspect to redesign the curriculum. Evaluation cannot be made on the basis of academic achievement of the students. Teacher should play an important role in the construction of curriculum as well as transaction of curriculum. Thus there is a need that teacher should take initiative to evaluate the whole education system as a Critical pedagogue. It is an ability to evaluate our teaching and the practices prevailing in existing education system critically in relation to methods and practices adopted by the teacher to teach concern pedagogical subjects. Ira Shor defines “ Critical pedagogy is habits of thought, reading, writing and speaking which go beneath surface meaning, first impr...

By
Competition Advocacy is one of the main pillars of modern competition law which aims at creating, expanding and strengthening awareness of competition in the market. Section 49 of the Competition Act, 2002 mandates the CCI to undertake advocacy for promoting competition. “ Competition advocacy” means those activities which are conducted to promote a competitive environment for economicactivities.The main beneficiaries of competition policy and law are the consumers, whose welfare is its declared objective of competition Act. Advocacy is the act of influencing or supporting a particular idea or policy. Effective implementation of any policy and law largely depends upon the willingness of the people to accept the law.
