Artificial Intelligence: Beyond Generative AI

Over the past year the top tech topic has been generative AI. AI though, is not new, it has it roots back a few decades. While generative AI is a fairly recent capability, there are a number of other types that are currently in use across a variety of business use cases. Generative AI improves on some of those capabilities of course, but to really understand how a business can use AI to the best benefit, it’s helpful to have an understanding of the other types of AI, and how they can be used. The following graphic shows all the current AI types. It does not talk about future types though, like artificial general intelligence (AGI). While a very interesting topic, that’s a subject for another post.
