Strong AI vs. weak AI is used to refer to:
- The classification of AI systems and research into two categories, where only strong AI research is intended to produce machines with an intelligence that matches or exceeds that of human beings.
- A distinction between two philosophical positions in the philosophy of artificial intelligence described by John Searle as part of his Chinese room argument. Weak AI only claims that machines can act intelligently. Strong AI claims that a machine that acts intelligently also has a mind and understands in the same sense people do.
Famous quotes containing the words strong and/or weak:
“If I were as I once was, the strong hoofs crushing the sand and the shells,
Coming out of the sea as the dawn comes, a chaunt of love on my lips,
Not coughing, my head on my knees, and praying, and wroth with the bells,
I would leave no saint’s head on his body from Rachlin to Bera of ships.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The little people must be sacred to the big ones, and it is from the rights of the weak that the duty of the strong is comprised.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
