Strong artificial intelligence (strong AI) may refer to a range of levels of artificial intelligence in prospective computational systems or to a concept in philosophy:
Computer science
edit- Artificial consciousness: a hypothetical machine that has subjective conscious experience, sentience, and a mind;
- Artificial general intelligence: a hypothetical human-level or stronger AI with the ability to apply intelligence to any problem, rather than just one specific problem;
- Artificial superintelligence: a hypothetical machine with a vastly superior intelligence to the average human being.
Philosophy
edit- The strong AI hypothesis: the philosophical position that a computer program that causes a machine to behave exactly like a human being would also give the machine subjective conscious experience and a mind, in exactly the same sense that human beings have minds (also known as functionalism or the computational theory of mind).

edit- Weak artificial intelligence, which is intelligent only in a limited task specific field
