Narrow AI (ANI)

AI designed to perform a specific task or narrow set of tasks, as opposed to general human-level intelligence.

Definition

Narrow (weak) AI describes every production AI system in use today, each optimized for a bounded domain such as translation, recommendations or image recognition. Artificial general intelligence (AGI) refers to hypothetical systems with broad human-level capability across domains. Even very capable LLMs are generally classed as narrow or general-purpose AI rather than AGI.

Exam tip

Exams may ask which category current AI systems belong to; the answer is narrow AI, not AGI.
