There are three types of AI, artificial intelligence. First, ANI, artificial narrow intelligence.  This AI is called narrow because it is artificial intelligence with the ability to do one specific task or has a narrow bases for it’s abilities. This allows for it to focus on one thing or one concept and just do that. Second, AGI, artificial general intelligence. This means that its almost human like in its abilities. This one is very much still developing because it is very difficult to create artificial intelligence that is able to think and act the same way a human does. But, this technology is always being improved on to one day get there. Finally, ASI, artificial super intelligence. This is not yet achieved yet, but it means that the technology can work and function better than a human. What this means is that this technology is able to do things that humans can do such as feeling emotions and create art and thoughts, but do it more efficiently than humans can. This diagram gives a little bit of information on these three types and what they are used for.
