Q: What are the various stages of AI and what is the significance of cognitive capabilities?
A: In terms of applicability and its resemblance level with the human brain, AI can be divided into three stages. Applied AI is the application of machine learning algorithms on the data assets in order for the smart machines to define the next course of action. These smart machines operate on the models that can operate within a pre-defined environmental context as well as to a certain degree work within stochastic environments. This level of AI is generally available and is finding use cases and applications in our day to day lives.
Cognitively Simulated AI is the next stage in AI development. In this stage, the intelligent machines are capable of interfacing with human beings in a natural format (with speech, vision, body movements and gestures, and so on...
