1. Narrow AI (Weak AI)

Narrow AI is designed to perform specific tasks and cannot generalize beyond its programmed scope.

• Ophthalmology Example:
  AI systems like IDx-DR or EyeArt detect diabetic retinopathy from retinal images but cannot diagnose other eye conditions.
• Everyday Example:
  Virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa can answer questions or play music but cannot perform tasks outside their programmed capabilities.

2. General AI (Strong AI)

General AI refers to systems with human-like intelligence capable of performing any intellectual task. This type of AI does not yet exist.

• Ophthalmology Example:
  A General AI could diagnose a wide range of eye diseases (e.g., glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration) and recommend personalized treatments, just like a human ophthalmologist.
• Everyday Example:
  A General AI could cook, drive, write, and solve complex problems with human-like adaptability.

3. Machine Learning (ML)

Machine Learning involves training algorithms to learn patterns from data and make predictions or decisions.

• Ophthalmology Example:
  ML algorithms analyze optical coherence tomography (OCT) images to detect retinal diseases like age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
• Everyday Example:
  Recommendation systems on Netflix or Amazon use ML to suggest movies or products based on your past behavior.

4. Deep Learning (DL)

Deep Learning is a subset of ML that uses neural networks with multiple layers to analyze complex data.

• Ophthalmology Example:
  DL models analyze fundus photographs to detect glaucoma by identifying subtle patterns in the optic nerve head.
• Everyday Example:
  Facial recognition systems in smartphones (e.g., Apple’s Face ID) use DL to recognize and authenticate users.

5. Computer Vision (CV)

Computer Vision enables machines to interpret and analyze visual data.

• Ophthalmology Example:
  AI systems use CV to analyze retinal scans and detect abnormalities like hemorrhages or exudates.
• Everyday Example:
  Self-driving cars use CV to detect pedestrians, road signs, and other vehicles.

6. Natural Language Processing (NLP)

NLP enables machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language.

• Ophthalmology Example:
  AI systems analyze clinical notes or patient histories to assist ophthalmologists in diagnosing conditions or predicting outcomes.
• Everyday Example:
  Chatbots like ChatGPT or Google Assistant use NLP to understand and respond to user queries.

7. Large Language Models (LLMs)

LLMs are advanced NLP models trained on vast amounts of text data to generate human-like language and perform complex language tasks.

• Ophthalmology Example:
  LLMs like GPT-4 could assist ophthalmologists by summarizing research papers, generating patient education materials, or drafting clinical notes.
• Everyday Example:
  LLMs power tools like ChatGPT for writing essays, answering questions, or coding assistance.

8. Generative AI

Generative AI creates new content, such as text, images, or videos, based on patterns learned from training data.

• Ophthalmology Example:
  Generative AI could create synthetic retinal images for training diagnostic AI models or simulate disease progression for educational purposes.
• Everyday Example:
  Tools like DALL·E or MidJourney generate artwork, while ChatGPT writes stories or poems.

9. Reinforcement Learning (RL)

Reinforcement Learning involves training AI systems to make decisions by rewarding desired behaviors and penalizing undesired ones.

• Ophthalmology Example:
  RL could optimize treatment plans for chronic eye conditions, such as adjusting medication dosages based on patient responses.
• Everyday Example:
  RL is used in gaming AI (e.g., AlphaGo) to learn strategies and improve performance through trial and error.

10. Robotics and AI Integration

This involves combining AI with robotics to perform physical tasks.

• Ophthalmology Example:
  Robotic systems like IRISS or Preceyes assist with precise movements during eye surgeries, such as retinal surgery or cataract removal.
• Everyday Example:
  Robotic vacuum cleaners like Roomba use AI to navigate and clean homes efficiently.
