Types of Artificial Intelligence

Weak general AI (WGAI) is AI that's capable of learning a wide swath of things, even things it wasn't necessarily programmed to learn. It can then use these learned experiences to come up with creative solutions that can flummox even trained professional humans. Basically, it's as intelligent as a certain creature-- maybe a worm or even a mouse-- but it's nowhere near intelligent enough to enhance itself meaningfully. It may be par-human or even superhuman in some regards, but it's sub-human in others. This is what we see with the likes of DeepMind-- DeepMind's basic algorithm can basically learn to do just about anything, but it's not as intelligent as a human being by far.
