Artificial Intelligence

               AI  are  often  classified  as  either  weak  or  strong.  Weak
               AI, also referred to as narrow AI, is an AI system that’s
               designed  for  a specific  task. Virtual  personal assistants,
               like  Apple’s  Siri,  are  a  form  of  weak  AI.  Strong  AI,  also
               referred  to  as  artificial  general  intelligence,  is  an  AI
               system with generalized human cognitive abilities. When
               presented with an unfamiliar task, a strong AI system is
               able to seek out a solution without human intervention.
               Because hardware, software and staffing costs for AI can
               be  too  high,  many  vendors  are  including  AI  elements
               in  their  standard  offerings,  allowing  access  to  artificial
               intelligence as a Service platform. AI as a Service permits
               people  and  firms  to  experiment  with  AI  for  numerous
