strong AI
Truly thinking machines
Strong AI refers to artificial intelligence that possesses genuine understanding, consciousness, and general reasoning ability—not merely simulating intelligence but actually having it.
The term contrasts with weak AI, which performs specific tasks without true comprehension.
Strong AI remains theoretical; no system has demonstrated actual consciousness or human-equivalent general intelligence.
The concept raises philosophical questions about whether machines can truly think or merely process information in ways that mimic thinking.
