Unveiling the Minds: Exploring Weak and Strong AI

Unveiling the Minds: Exploring Weak and Strong AI

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to differentiate between weak and strong AI and understand their implications.

What do you already know about artificial intelligence?

Slide 1: Introduction to AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems.

Slide 2: Weak AI

Weak AI, or narrow AI, is designed and trained for a particular task. It is focused on a narrow range of activities and does not possess general intelligence.

Slide 3: Strong AI

Strong AI, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), possesses the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge in a manner similar to human cognition.

Slide 4: Comparing Weak and Strong AI

Weak AI is task-specific and lacks the ability to reason beyond its programming, while strong AI aims to exhibit human-like cognitive abilities.

Slide 5: Examples of Weak AI

Examples of weak AI include virtual personal assistants like Siri and Alexa, recommendation systems on streaming platforms, and chatbots.

Slide 6: Examples of Strong AI

Strong AI examples are still largely theoretical, with ongoing research in areas such as autonomous reasoning, problem-solving, and natural language understanding.

Slide 7: Ethical Considerations

The development of strong AI raises ethical concerns regarding its potential impact on employment, privacy, and decision-making processes.

Slide 8: Conclusion and Reflection

Understanding the differences between weak and strong AI is crucial in navigating the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and its implications for humanity.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
