## Weak AI vs. Strong AI

The task of solving a specific human-like problem, such as determining a person's age from a photo, can be called **Weak AI**, because we are creating a system for only one task, and not a system that can solve many tasks, such as can be done by a human being. Of course, developing a generally intelligent computer system is also extremely interesting from many points of view, including for students of the philosophy of consciousness. Such system would be called **Strong AI**, or **[Artificial General Intelligence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligence)** (AGI).

Weak AI refers to AI systems that are designed and trained for a specific task or a narrow set of tasks.|Strong AI, or Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), refers to AI systems with human-level intelligence and understanding.
These AI systems are not generally intelligent; they excel in performing a predefined task but lack true understanding or consciousness.|These AI systems have the ability to perform any intellectual task that a human being can do, adapt to different domains, and possess a form of consciousness or self-awareness.
Examples of weak AI include virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa, recommendation algorithms used by streaming services, and chatbots that are designed for specific customer service tasks.|Achieving Strong AI is a long-term goal of AI research and would require the development of AI systems that can reason, learn, understand, and adapt across a wide range of tasks and contexts.
Weak AI is highly specialized and does not possess human-like cognitive abilities or general problem-solving capabilities beyond its narrow domain.|Strong AI is currently a theoretical concept, and no AI system has reached this level of general intelligence

## The Definition of Intelligence and the Turing Test

One of the problems when dealing with the term **[Intelligence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence)** is that there is no clear definition of this term. One can argue that intelligence is connected to **abstract thinking**, or to **self-awareness**, but we cannot properly define it.
