In this article, David Petersson outlines the four main types of artificial intelligence: reactive AI, limited memory machines, self-correcting AI, and general AI. Reactive AI algorithms are used for simple classification and pattern recognition tasks, while limited memory machines are designed to imitate the way our neurons connect and are capable of completing complex tasks such as autonomous driving. Self-correcting AI is capable of progressively tuning and improving a result until it achieves the desired goal, and general AI is the type of AI that demonstrates human-level intelligence and consciousness.
