This technological marvel extends beyond mere automation, incorporating a broad spectrum of AI skills - abilities that enable machines to understand, reason, learn, and interact in a human-like manner. There are three main types of AI based on its capabilities - weak AI, strong AI, and super AI. Weak AI - Focuses on one task and cannot perform beyond its limitations (common in our daily lives) Strong AI - Can understand and learn any intellectual task that a human being can (researchers are striving to reach strong AI) Super AI - Surpasses human intelligence and can perform any task better than a huma...
