What is AGI?
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a type of AI that can understand, learn, and apply intelligence across a wide range of tasks, similar to how a human can. AGI would have the capacity to perform any intellectual task that a human can do, such as reasoning, problem-solving, abstract thinking, and understanding complex concepts in diverse fields.

What is Narrow AI?
Narrow AI (also called “Weak AI“) is Artificial Intelligence designed to do specific tasks well, like answering questions, playing chess, or recognizing faces. It’s not a human-like mind. It can’t think, feel, or learn outside its programmed role.
DeepSeek is a Narrow AI because:
1️⃣ Specialized Skills: It’s great at tasks like solving math problems, explaining ideas, or writing stories.
2️⃣ No Consciousness: It doesn’t “understand” things like humans—it uses patterns from data to generate responses.
3️⃣ Limited Scope: It can’t cook, drive a car, or invent new goals. It stays focused on text-based work.
Examples of Narrow AI
Some of the examples of Narrow AI are as follows:
- Siri/Alexa: Answers questions or plays music.
- DeepSeek: Helps with homework or creative writing.
Narrow AI vs. General AI
Narrow AI: Does one job (like DeepSeek).
General AI (hypothetical): A future AI that could do any intellectual task like a human. This doesn’t exist yet!
