strong AI

Strong AI refers to artificial intelligence that has human-like cognitive abilities, meaning it can understand, learn, reason, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks, just as a human can. Unlike narrow AI, which is designed for specific functions (like voice assistants or game-playing), strong AI would possess general intelligence and consciousness, enabling genuine understanding and independent thinking. The concept raises questions about machines having minds of their own, and achieving true strong AI remains a theoretical goal within the field of artificial intelligence research.
