What is AI?

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is technology that enables computers and machines to


simulate human intelligence and problem-solving capabilities.
On its own or combined with other technologies (e.g., sensors, geolocation, robotics) AI
can perform tasks that would otherwise require human intelligence or intervention.
Digital assistants, GPS guidance, autonomous vehicles, and generative AI tools (like
Open AI's Chat GPT) are just a few examples of AI in the daily news and our daily lives.

As a field of computer science, artificial intelligence encompasses (and is often


mentioned together with) machine learning and deep learning. These disciplines involve
the development of AI algorithms, modeled after the decision-making processes of the
human brain, that can ‘learn’ from available data and make increasingly more accurate
classifications or predictions over time.

Artificial intelligence has gone through many cycles of hype, but even to skeptics, the
release of ChatGPT seems to mark a turning point. The last time generative AI loomed
this large, the breakthroughs were in computer vision, but now the leap forward is in
natural language processing (NLP). Today, generative AI can learn and synthesize not
just human language but other data types including images, video, software code, and
even molecular structures.

Applications for AI are growing every day. But as the hype around the use of AI tools in
business takes off, conversations around ai ethics and responsible ai become critically
important. For more on where IBM stands on these issues, please read Building trust in
AI.

Types of artificial intelligence: weak AI vs. strong AI
Weak AI—also known as narrow AI or artificial narrow intelligence (ANI)—is AI trained
and focused to perform specific tasks. Weak AI drives most of the AI that surrounds us
today. "Narrow" might be a more apt descriptor for this type of AI as it is anything but
weak: it enables some very robust applications, such as Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa,
IBM watsonx™, and self-driving vehicles.
Strong AI is made up of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and artificial super
intelligence (ASI). AGI, or general AI, is a theoretical form of AI where a machine would
have an intelligence equal to humans; it would be self-aware with a consciousness that
would have the ability to solve problems, learn, and plan for the future. ASI—also known
as superintelligence—would surpass the intelligence and ability of the human brain.
While strong AI is still entirely theoretical with no practical examples in use today, that
doesn't mean AI researchers aren't also exploring its development. In the meantime, the
best examples of ASI might be from science fiction, such as HAL, the superhuman and
rogue computer assistant in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
