Weak AI

Weak AI, also known as narrow AI or artificial narrow intelligence (ANI), refers to artificial intelligence that is designed to perform a specific task or a narrow range of tasks, rather than possessing general intelligence like humans.

Weak AI systems are designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as recognizing speech, playing games, or driving a car. However, these systems are limited to the specific task they were designed for and cannot generalize their knowledge to other tasks or domains. Weak AI systems rely heavily on human input and supervision, and cannot learn or reason beyond their programmed capabilities.

Weak AI systems are currently the most common form of artificial intelligence and are used in a variety of applications, such as virtual assistants, recommendation systems, and image recognition. While they are not capable of human-like intelligence or creativity, they are becoming increasingly sophisticated and effective in their specific domains.
