href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/8181\/machine-learning-ml\">machine learning<\/a> (ML), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/33340_neural_networks_whitepaper.pdf\">neural networks<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/3739\/algorithm\">advanced algorithms<\/a>, to try to match human intelligence. Machine learning helps it learn from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/807\/data\">data<\/a>, while neural networks \u2013 modeled after the human brain \u2013 allow it to recognize patterns, process language, and make decisions.<\/p>\n<p>To actually think like humans, though, strong AI would need skills like memory, perception, reasoning, and the ability to improve itself over time. This means understanding complex ideas, adapting to new situations, and continuously learning.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, building Strong AI at this level would take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/6580\/compute\">computing power<\/a> and algorithms that are mostly still theoretical.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"strong_ai_tests\">Strong AI Tests<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Testing strong AI means seeing if it can actually think like a human. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/turing-test\">Turing Test<\/a> is one of the best-known tests \u2013 AI passes if it can chat in a way that feels genuinely human. But the Turing Test mainly looks at language skills, so it doesn&#8217;t cover things like reasoning or understanding the real world.<\/p>\n<p>Other tests, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/plato.stanford.edu\/entries\/chinese-room\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chinese Room argument<\/a> and consciousness tests, go further by checking if AI actually understands what it&#8217;s &#8220;saying&#8221; or just follows programmed steps. These tests highlight where current evaluations fall short.<\/p>\n<p>To really measure <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/humanizing-ai-the-evolution-of-anthropomorphism\">human-like intelligence<\/a>, we&#8217;d need new tests for skills like reasoning, adaptable learning, and emotional understanding. These would give a clearer sense of AI&#8217;s progress toward true human-like thinking.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"strong_ai_vs_weak_ai\">Strong AI vs. Weak AI<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-responsive su-table-alternate\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Aspect<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>Strong AI<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>Weak AI<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Purpose<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>To replicate human intelligence across various tasks.<\/td>\n<td>Designed for specific tasks only.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Capability<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Learns, reasons, and adapts with human-like cognition.<\/td>\n<td>Follows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/28254\/processor\">programmed instructions<\/a> without a true understanding.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Current Status<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Theoretical, not yet achieved in existing systems.<\/td>\n<td>Widely used today in applications.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Examples<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>There are currently no strong AI examples.<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/31383\/intelligent-virtual-assistant\">Virtual assistants<\/a> (Siri, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/alexa-amazon\">Alexa<\/a>), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/ai\/best-free-ai-content-generator\">content generators<\/a>, recommendation systems, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/facial-recognition\">image recognition tools<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"strong_ai_trends\">Strong AI Trends<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Strong AI research is focused on building systems that can think and adapt like humans.

Some believe it could happen within a few decades, while others think it might take much longer \u2013 or may never be fully possible.
