Example: Still theoretical, not yet developed.
Super AI:
AI that surpasses human intelligence in all areas, including creativity, problem-solving, and emotions.
Example: A futuristic concept, not yet real.
Based on Functionalities:
Reactive Machines:
AI that reacts to inputs without storing past experiences or predicting future outcomes.
Example: IBM’s Deep Blue (chess-playing computer).
Limited Memory:
AI that uses past data temporarily to make decisions, like self-driving cars analyzing road conditions.
Example: Tesla Autopilot.
Theory of Mind:
AI that can understand emotions, beliefs, and intentions of others. This is still in research.
Example: Advanced AI in social interactions (future concept).
