The conversation begins with an acknowledgment that AI is more than just ChatGPT. The speakers outline different types of AI, including artificial neural intelligence (e.g., Siri, Alexa), artificial general intelligence (e.g., Tesla Autopilot, ChatGPT), and artificial super intelligence (which surpasses human capability but is not yet realized). Other categories include reactive machines (e.g., Netflix recommendations), limited memory AI (e.g., chatbots), theory of mind AI (which enables two-way interactions), and self-aware AI (which is still theoretical).
