There are two types: Narrow AI and General AI (which is the talking point of this essay). Narrow AI (also known as weak AI) exceeds human ability in a specific task; for example, chatbots like ChatGPT. [1] Lastly, "Artificial General Intelligence" (AGI, for short) can solve numerous tasks, matching or even exceeding human capability. Also known as strong AI, AGI does not currently exist, but its emergence in the near future seems very likely. [2] AGI has the potential to revolutionize the world in the same manner computers have. It can become as ubiquitous as mobile phones in our lives. AGI can discern between data patterns much quicker than humans. While also improving from its past mistakes, all of this can drastically enhance AGI-produced results, making them m...

But over time, I realized that it wasn't just fascination, it was passion. I realized that technology had been calling me all along. What I've come to know about computer science is that it is a constantly evolving field with new discoveries being made every single day. You have to keep up with it or be lef...
