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.
