### Types of AI:

#### Based on Capabilities:

**Narrow AI (Weak AI):**\
AI designed for specific tasks, like voice assistants or recommendation systems. It cannot perform tasks outside its scope.\
*Example: Siri, Netflix Recommendations.*

**General AI (Strong AI):**\
AI capable of performing any intellectual task that a human can do, with reasoning and learning across all domains.\
*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).*

**Self-Aware AI:**\
AI with its own consciousness and self-awareness, capable of understanding itself and others.\
*Example: Only hypothetical as of now.*
