FAQ

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the field of computer science that focuses on creating machines or software that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence.

These tasks include:

• Learning from data (Machine Learning)

• Reasoning and making decisions

• Understanding natural language (like chatbots or voice assistants)

• Perceiving the environment (via computer vision, sensors)

• Acting autonomously (robots, self-driving cars)

In essence, AI aims to simulate human thinking in machines to automate and optimize complex tasks.

Machine Learning is a subset of AI that focuses on developing algorithms and models that allow computers to learn from data and improve their performance over time. It plays a crucial role in enabling AI systems to recognize patterns, make predictions, and adapt to new information.

Here’s the relationship in simple terms:

• AI is the broader concept: making machines “smart” or capable of mimicking human intelligence.

• ML is a specific method within AI: it enables machines to learn from data without being explicitly programmed.

So, while all machine learning is AI, not all AI is machine learning. For example:

• A rule-based chatbot = AI (not ML)

• A chatbot that improves with usage = AI using ML

ML is how most modern AI systems actually learn and improve.

Yes, AI is replacing some human jobs, especially those that are repetitive, rule-based, or data-driven — like:

• Data entry

• Customer support (via chatbots)

• Basic accounting

• Manufacturing line work

• Logistics and inventory tracking

However, AI is also creating new jobs — in AI development, data analysis, cybersecurity, robotics maintenance, etc.

Hard Truth:

• Low-skill, repetitive jobs are at highest risk.

• Creative, strategic, or interpersonal roles are safer — for now.

Bottom line: Adapt or get left behind. Learn to work with AI, not fear it.

Artificial Intelligence is commonly classified into three types based on capability:

1. Narrow AI (Weak AI)

• Definition: AI designed for a specific task.

• Examples: Siri, Google Maps, ChatGPT, facial recognition.

• Current Status: All existing AI today falls under this category.

2. General AI (Strong AI)

• Definition: AI with human-like reasoning across any task.

• Examples: A hypothetical AI that can solve math, cook, write poetry, and debate politics like a human.

• Current Status: Not yet achieved.

3. Superintelligent AI

• Definition: AI that surpasses human intelligence in all fields.

• Examples: Theoretical—could design new tech, govern nations, or outsmart humanity.

• Current Status: Purely speculative; subject of debate and caution.

There’s also a functional classification:

• Reactive Machines (e.g., chess AI) – No memory, reacts to input.

• Limited Memory (e.g., self-driving cars) – Uses past data for decisions.

• Theory of Mind – AI that understands emotions/intents (not yet real).

• Self-aware AI – Sentient AI (science fiction, for now).

Conclusion: We are in the Narrow AI + Limited Memory phase. General and Super AI are the future — and possibly the threat.
