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:
“To grant woman an equality with man in the affairs of life is contrary to every tradition, every precedent, every inheritance, every instinct and every teaching. The acceptance of this idea is possible only to those of especially progressive tendencies and a strong sense of justice, and it is yet too soon to expect these from the majority.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“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)
