4. Types of AI - Cracking the Code

"Understanding the Different Types of Artificial Intelligence: From Reactive Machines to Superintelligence"





While AI has gotten smarter in recent years, it still has some catching up to do compared to humans. Humans can do some amazing things that AI can't quite do yet. For example, we can learn new things and adjust to different situations in ways that AI can't quite figure out. We're also really good at being creative and understanding emotions, which AI hasn't quite mastered yet. But don't worry, as AI keeps getting better, we might see new kinds of AI that are more like us humans!

AI is really important because it can help us solve really hard problems and make things work better. It's super fast at processing lots and lots of information, which helps us make better decisions and get better results. It can even do things automatically, like boring tasks, so that we humans can focus on doing more fun and important stuff.



"AI is useful but potentially dangerous, with different levels of sophistication: narrow, general, and superintelligence."

There are several different types of artificial intelligence (AI), each with its own unique characteristics and approaches to problem-solving. Here are some of the most common types of AI:

Reactive Machines: 
Reactive machines are the simplest form of AI, which are designed to react to specific situations based on pre-defined rules. They do not have the ability to learn from past experiences or make predictions about the future. Examples of reactive machines include thermostats, automatic doors, and traffic lights.

Limited Memory: 
Limited memory AI systems can make decisions based on previous experiences or data they have been trained on. However, they do not have the ability to learn from new experiences or adapt to new situations. Examples of limited memory AI include speech recognition, language translation software, and self-driving cars.

Theory of Mind: 
Theory of mind AI is designed to understand human emotions and intentions and to anticipate human behavior. These systems can make predictions about how people will react to different situations and adjust their actions accordingly. Theory of mind AI is still in the early stages of development and is not yet widely used.

Self-Aware AI: 
Self-aware AI is the most advanced form of AI, with the ability to learn, reason, and understand complex concepts. Self-aware AI is able to adapt to new situations, learn from experience, and make decisions based on available data. However, self-aware AI is still largely a hypothetical concept, and there is currently no technology capable of achieving true self-awareness.

AI can be categorized into different types based on their capabilities and applications. We will explore three types of AI: Narrow or Weak AI, General or Strong AI, and Superintelligence.

Narrow or Weak AI:
Narrow or Weak AI refers to systems that are designed to perform specific tasks with high accuracy and efficiency. These AI systems are programmed to complete a particular task, and they are limited to that task only. 


Examples of Narrow or Weak AI include image recognition systems, speech recognition systems, and recommendation systems. These AI systems are widely used in industries such as healthcare, finance, and marketing.

General or Strong AI:
General or Strong AI, on the other hand, refers to systems that are designed to exhibit human-like intelligence across a wide range of tasks. These AI systems can learn, reason, and make decisions in different situations, just like humans. 

General or Strong AI is often referred to as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AGI systems are still in the research phase, and they have not been fully developed yet. However, experts predict that AGI systems will have a significant impact on society in the future.

Superintelligence:
Superintelligence refers to hypothetical AI that surpasses human intelligence in all domains. Superintelligence is an AI system that can perform any intellectual task that a human can do and beyond. It is a hypothetical concept that has been the subject of many debates and discussions in the AI community. 


Some experts believe that Superintelligence can be a game-changer, leading to significant advancements in fields such as medicine, space exploration, and cybersecurity. However, others warn that Superintelligence may pose a significant threat to humanity if not developed carefully.

In conclusion, AI can be classified into different types based on their capabilities and applications. Narrow or Weak AI is designed to perform specific tasks, while General or Strong AI is designed to exhibit human-like intelligence across a wide range of tasks. Superintelligence is a hypothetical AI that surpasses human intelligence in all domains. 

As AI continues to evolve, we can expect significant advancements and changes in society in the coming years. It is essential to continue to explore the potential of AI while being mindful of the potential risks it may pose.

인지능력은 인류가 식량을 구하거나 위험을 회피하는 등 생존을 위한 경험을 반복하면서 발달했다. 이후 서로 소통하고 정보를 공유하며 축적된 집단 지성을 활용하는 방향으로 감각지각 sensory perception 능력이 진화했다. 별보기나 수렵 채집과 같은 행동은 인지 능력과 문화 활동 발달에 영향을 미쳤다. 특히 별자리 관찰은 길을 찾고 시간을 관리하는 데 도움이 되었으며, 인류는 자연 속에서 패턴을 인식하고—무질서해 보이는 현상을 보고 규칙을 찾는다— 미래의 모습을 예측할 수 있게 되었다. 별자리 관찰을 통한 패턴 인식 노력은 인간 두뇌의 추상적 사고 능력을 발달시켜 수학과 철학 같은 더 복잡한 형태의 사고로 이어지는 데 중요한 역할을 했다. 초기 인류 사회는 구전 전통에 의존하여 다음 세대에게 지식을 전달했지만 기억의 한계를 극복하기 위해 보다 신뢰할 수 있는 도구를 이용하기 시작했다. 지식 전달 도구는 쐐기문자, 상형문자와 같은 기호에서 시작하여 구전보다 더 상세한 정보를 기록하고 오랫동안 보전할 수 있는 문자 체계로 발전하게 되었다. 문자로 지식, 법률, 역사, 이야기를 기록함으로써 개인의 기억에 의존하기보다 집단 기억을 강화하고 문화를 더욱 체계적으로 보전할 수 있게 되었다. 복잡한 언어 체계가 생기기 전에는 예술이 의사소통과 표현의 한 형태였다. 동굴 벽화는 사냥, 종교에 대한 정보나 신념을 공유한 좋은 사례이다. 벽화와 같은 초기 형태의 시각적 소통방식은 기호를 이용한 구체적인 정보 전달방식으로 변화했고 문자와 발음기호인 자모로 발전하여, 더욱 추상화된 사고와 의사소통이 가능해졌다.  불완전한 기억으로 인해 상상력이 발현되기도 했다. 정보나 이야기를 전파할 때마다 해석이 가미되고, 예측되는 행동의 당위성이나 도덕적 교훈을 가르치거나, 이야기를 더욱 매력적으로 만들어 사회적 결속력과 공감을 강화할 수 있었다. 이렇게 형성된 문화는 자연스럽게 공동체 구성원들에게 무엇을 기억하고 잊을지 규정하는 기능으로 작용했다.  감각 기관으로부터 받...
