Discrete Artificial Intelligence

A Discrete Artificial Intelligence system of any kind, is a highly limited form of weak AI in which there are a maximum number of discrete possible actions the AI could take, or situations it is going to find itself in, and so it only has to cogitate on those specific actions.

Discrete Artificial Intelligence systems are extremely cheap computationally in contrast to Continuous Artificial Intelligence systems, however, they are only of any use when no unknown situations can possibly be encountered.

They are often used in gaming environments, where their strengths are best utilised. They are not suitable to power NPCs, or any form of realtime human interaction.

The short form of Discrete Artificial Intelligence is Discrete AI.

New approaches to artificial intelligence spring from the idea that intelligence emerges as much from cells, bodies, and societies as it does from evolution, development, and learning. Traditionally, artificial intelligence has been concerned with reproducing the abilities of human brains; newer approaches take inspiration from a wider range of biological structures that that are capable of autonomous self-organisation.





Franklin's tour of contemporary thought on human, animal, and artificial minds introduces creative theories, models, and prototypes of artificial intelligence. After citing the scoffers' arguments regarding the improbability of fashioning artificial minds, Franklin examines some systems that do, in fact, exhibit aspects of intelligence.

Artificial General Intelligence or AGI is the holy grail of AI research. Instead of expert systems, and image recognition, it refers to common-sense know-how ? general intelligence most humans have when in unfamiliar situations. In other words, the ability of an AI to think and reason as a sentient being, even when confronted by unfamiliar data.
