But there's a lot more to AI than just that. Imagine AIs that can help doctors during operations, drive cars all by themselves, or even understand how you’re feeling just by listening to you. Today, in DHIE, we explore the different kinds of Artificial Intelligence and see how these smart technologies are doing incredible things all around us.Narrow AI (or Weak AI)These systems are designed to perform a single task or a limited range of tasks. They operate under more constrained and controlled settings than general AI.Example: Chatbots designed for customer service, image recognition software, and recommendation engines that suggest products based on user history..Embodied AIThis type of AI includes robotics, where AI systems are given a physical form to interact with the physical world. These systems combine hardware and software to perceive, process, and respond to changes in their environment.Example: Autonomous drones for delivery, robotic vacuum cleaners, and humanoid robots that assist in tasks requiring physical interaction.Augmented AIAugmented AI combines human and artificial intelligence, where systems enhance human decision-making processes. It integrates with human workflows, providing real-time data, predictions, and recommendations to support more effective outcomes.Example: Surgical robots that assist doctors during operations, real-time data analytics platforms for business intelligence, and AI-driven design tools for architects.Affective AIAlso known as emotional AI, it focuses on the detection, interpretation, and simulation of human emotions. It’s used to improve interaction between humans and machines, making devices more responsive to the emotional state of the user.Example: Customer service chatbots that adapt responses based on the user's perceived emotional state, engagement measurement tools in education tech that adjust content delivery based on the student’s emotions.Cognitive AIThis form of AI attempts to mimic human thought processes more closely, integrating data from various sources and focusing on solving complex problems by understanding the context in a more human-like way.Example: Advanced AI in healthcare that can diagnose conditions by considering a patient’s entire medical history, lifestyle, and recent symptoms, or complex decision-making systems in business that can navigate uncertain and dynamic environments.Creative AIAI systems that are designed to simulate or replicate human creative processes. This includes generating artistic works or novel solutions to problems.Example: AI that composes music or creates art, software that can write stories, or generate ideas for innovation in product design. AI can read ancient textsDid you know that AI is helping archaeologists read ancient texts? It can decipher manuscripts that are too worn out for human eyes, revealing secrets from thousands of years ago.AI composes music for moviesSome films and video games are using AI-composed music. The AI analyses existing compositions and creates new pieces that evoke similar moods and themes..AI helps in space explorationAI is not just earthbound; it's also used in space! AI algorithms help manage spacecraft and satellites and are even used to analyse data from space missions to find new discoveries..AI in beekeepingAI is being used to monitor bee populations and health, helping beekeepers understand more about bee behaviours and how to prevent their colonies from collapsing..AI as a chefThere's an AI system that can create new recipes from scratch, mixing ingredients in ways no human chef has before. It understands flavour profiles and nutrition to make tasty and healthy dishes.AI has its own art exhibitionsBelieve it or not, AI-generated artworks have been featured in major art exhibitions around the world. Some of these pieces have even been auctioned off for substantial amounts of money.AI can predict earthquakesScientists are developing AI systems that analyse vast amounts of geological data to predict when and where earthquakes might occur, potentially saving lives by providing earlier warnings.
