Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) refers to AI systems designed to perform specific tasks or solve particular problems with high efficiency. Unlike Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which aims to replicate human-like intelligence across various domains, ANI is focused on one narrow area of expertise. Think of ANI as having "one specific feature to perform one action at a time." For example, ANI systems can be highly effective at recognizing faces in photos, playing chess, or providing customer support through chatbots. However, they are limited to the particular function they are programmed for and cannot generalize their knowledge beyond that specific task. In simple terms, ANI is like having a highly skilled specialist who excels in one area but doesn't have the ability to handle tasks outside of their specialty. Most of the AI we interact with today falls under this category, as it is designed to excel in specific applications rather than broad, general intelligence.
