Human General Intelligence — HGI Versus HI & The Age of The Polymath
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” — Robert A. Heinlein
Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) also known as “Weak AI” or “Narrow AI” is the artificial intelligence that is prevalent in our world today.
Narrow AI is AI that is programmed to perform a very specific task extremely well. The more specific the task, the easier it is for a human to programme the machine.
Artificial General Intelligence AGI or “General AI” is where a machine can perform a variety of tasks comparable to a human.
“Strong AI”, “Super AI” or “Superintelligence” is artificial intelligence that can outperform human capabilities, but we are not there yet.
