AI isn’t just one thing—it comes in different flavours, from simple task-doers to the mind-bending idea of superintelligent machines that might one day outthink us all. In this episode, we break down the three key types of AI:

• Narrow AI, which powers your favourite voice assistants and recommendation engines;
• General AI, the still-unrealised dream of machines that think like humans; and
• Superintelligent AI, the mind-blowing concept of an intelligence that could surpass us in every way.

Through real-world examples like IBM’s Watson on Jeopardy! and DeepMind’s AlphaGo, we explore where AI stands today—and where it might be headed. Will AI ever become self-aware? Should we be excited or terrified? And why does Siri struggle with even the simplest life advice?

This podcast was generated with the help of ChatGPT 4.5, Mistral, and Claude 3. We do fact-check with human eyes, but there still might be hallucinations in the output. And, by the way, it's read by an AI voice.
