  • When you talk to Siri or Alexa, you're talking to artificial intelligence.

  • But what is artificial intelligence?

  • Artificial intelligence or AI is intelligence displayed by machines such as computers, in

  • a way similar to us, humans.

  • The termartificial intelligencewas coined in 1955 by John McCarthy, who became

  • one of co-founders and leaders of AI research.

  • So where are we currently with the research?

  • So far we have nailed Weak AI, also referred to as Narrow AI.

  • Weak AI is able to solve just one specific task.

  • It can beat you in chess, keep your mailbox free of spam, drive a car or recommend you

  • a song based on what you're listening to.

  • The next stage is Strong AI, also called General AI.

  • Strong AI refers to intelligence of a computer, which could perform any intellectual task

  • that a human being can.

  • Basically it would be as smart as we are.

  • This is much harder to create, and we will have to wait for it.

  • After we reach Strong AI, it should be only a matter of time, till we achieve Superintelligence.

  • Superintelligence would possess intellect much smarter than the brightest and most gifted

  • human minds.

  • Although it is possible it will never happen.
