How many types of Artificial Intelligence?

Sachin Dev Duggal, CEO and Founder of Engineer.ai talked about Artificial Intelligence. He said there are three types of Artificial Intelligence:

Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI)

Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), also known as Narrow AI or Weak AI, is a type of Artificial Intelligence focused on one single narrow task. It possesses a narrow-range of abilities. This is the only AI in existence today, for now.

Narrow AI is something most of us interact with on a daily basis. Think of Google Assistant, Google Translate, Siri, Cortana, or Alexa. They are all machine intelligence that use Natural Language Processing (NLP).

NLP is used in chatbots and other similar applications. By understanding speech and text in natural language they are programmed to interact with humans in a personalized, natural way.

AI systems today are used in medicine to diagnose cancers and other illnesses with extreme accuracy by replicating human-like cognition and reasoning.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

When we talk about Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) we refer to a type of AI that is about as capable as a human.

However, AGI is still an emerging field. Since the human brain is the model to creating General Intelligence, it seems unlike that will happen relatively soon because there is lack of a comprehensive knowledge of the functionality of the human brain.

Yet, as history has shown many times, humans are prone to creating technologies that become dangerous to human existence. Why then trying to create algorithms to replicate brain function would be different? When this happens, humans will have to accept the consequences this might bring. 

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI)

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) is way into the future. Or, that is what we believe. To reach this point and to be called an ASI, an AI will need to surpass humans at absolutely everything. The ASI type is achieved when AI is more capable than a human.

This type of AI will be able to perform extraordinary well at things such as arts, decision making, and emotional relationships. These things are today part of what differentiates a machine from a human. In other words, things that are believed to be strictly human.

However, many could argue that humans have not yet mastered the art of emotional relationships, or good decision making. Does it mean that perhaps, a few centuries into the future, Artificial Super Intelligence will master areas where humans have failed? 

Engineer.ai is a Human-assisted AI that empowers everyone to independently build & operate tech products through two products that work together to be their.

Sachin Dev Duggal bootstrapped Engineer.ai

Sachin Dev Duggal is a serial entrepreneur building a Human-Assisted AI that empowers everyone to build & operate technology. He has bootstrapped Engineer.ai since 2012, which was created with the belief that everyone should be able to build their ideas without needing to code and that any idea can be made into a reality without wastage of time, money or resources. He holds a degree in B. Eng from Imperial College London and a degree in Entrepreneurial Master's Program from MIT. He is an Information Systems Engineer with specialization in Mandarin, Finance, Distributed Systems, Software Engineering, Computational Maths and Operations research with Game Theory. At the age of 14, Sachin Duggal ended up accidentally breaking his mother's computer. Afraid of her reaction, he researched relentlessly until he put the system back together to perfect form. One thing led to another and he established a small PC business at the age of 14. In the following years

Varun Manmohan Kapur : Investment Ideas

  Whether it be debt or equity, in general, the level of risk is lower when investing in bigger companies. This got further exacerbated in the backdrop of the pandemic, smaller companies with their lower levels of resilience and limited sources for raising financing resulted in positive economic outcomes for larger players. Their already high market shares got a further fillip as suppliers, distributors, financiers, customers all resorted to ‘safer’ and ‘trusted’ brands. Apart from growth, this enhanced market share provided a cushion against lock-downs, lowering demand during the pandemic, says Varun Kapur Yes Bank .  

Sachin Dev Duggal co-founder of Engineer.ai

The co-founder of engineer.ai wants firms to develop their own apps using his programme which he says requires little or no tech skills. Having a fast, personalised app is key to a company’s online presence and marketing ability. In 2017, the total amount of app downloads hit 197 billion which is expected to surge to 352 billion by 2021, according to Statista. Here, Sachin Dev Duggal , co-founder of Engineer.ai explains how he wants to bring the cost of creating an app down for businesses and make it easier than ever to do so. Tell us more about the company. What’s your background and what is the company’s vision? We founded Engineer.ai in 2016, and the ‘Builder’ platform will be launching in June this year. The company was founded because we wanted to create a platform that would enable anyone to make a software idea into a reality without needing expertise knowledge in development and coding. The company was founded in partnership with my university friend Saurabh Dhoot. I
