A company secretary is explaining to the board the difference between narrow AI and artificial general intelligence (AGI). Which statement is correct?

Narrow AI handles specific tasks such as image recognition or translation, while artificial general intelligence is a theoretical system able to perform a broad range of intellectual tasks like a human. Today's commercial tools are narrow AI; AGI has not been achieved.

  1. ANarrow AI performs specific tasks such as image recognition, whereas AGI would be able to perform a wide range of intellectual tasks like a humanCorrect
  2. BNarrow AI is a hypothetical system that can reason across all domains, while AGI performs only a single task
  3. CBoth narrow AI and AGI are widely deployed today in commercial chatbots and translation tools
  4. DNarrow AI cannot use data, whereas AGI depends entirely on data

Explanation

Narrow AI is designed for defined tasks and is what exists commercially today. AGI is a theoretical concept of human-level general capability. The option reversing the definitions is wrong because it assigns the hypothetical nature to narrow AI.
