Understanding the Spectrum of Artificial Intelligence: From Reactive Systems to Self-Aware Entities


AI is more pervasive than ever, embedded in our everyday software tools, performing its magic behind the scenes. It's also a handy tool for analyzing data and generating code, not to mention giving us new ideas and generating copy, images, and even video. These features powering the modern working world have inspired the newsletter you're reading.


To shed some light on where we're going with all of this productive magic, our recent article explores the various stages of artificial intelligence (AI) development, from reactive AI to hypothetical self-aware systems.
