In this video, we break down the idea of spectrum definitions — from weak vs. strong AI, to narrow vs. general, to AGI and superintelligence. Spectrum definitions sound inclusive and thought-provoking, but do they actually tell us what AI is?
I argue that spectrum definitions often collapse into circular, ad hoc labels. Instead of providing a consensus definition, they function more like marketing tools than solid conceptual frameworks.
If you’ve ever wondered why defining AI is so slippery, or why every debate seems to stretch along yet another spectrum, this video is for you.
