AI currently exists in two major forms: weak AI and strong AI. Weak AI refers to specialized systems designed to perform specific tasks with efficiency and expertise, akin to an office worker versed in spreadsheets. These systems solve problems but lack consciousness and self-awareness. On the flip side, strong AI, or artificial general intelligence (AGI), aspires to replicate human-like cognitive functions — a considerable leap that remains purely theoretical as of today.
