Narrow AI: Boundaries of modern AI – By Aditya Abeysinghe Narrow AI Narrow Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a type of AI which can handle only tasks that are assigned. These tasks need to be defined before they can be processed and narrow AI models cannot operate beyond the level of training. This constraint makes this type “weak” or narrow compared to strong types such as Artificial General Intelligence and Artificial Super Intelligence. Narrow AI is the mostly used AI type in commercial systems. Why it is narrow in AI? Narrow AI is designed to perform a task based on pre-defined models and inputs. Artificial General Intelligence-based models on the other hand can “think” and perform tasks on their own. However, the latter type requires AI which goes beyond how humans “think”. This type is still being researched and is not used in most commercial AI systems. Models which rely on training ...
