“If a machine is self-aware, that would be strong AI. But so far, this only exists in Hollywood. We are very close to weak AI. This can solve narrowly defined tasks as well as a human or better. But it is not useful for a second, different task – almost a digital specialist. A system in a self-driving car cannot be a good chess player at the same time.”

– Damien Borth, scientist at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, on the areas of application of the technology, in Handelsblatt of 27, 28, 29 July 2018, No. 143
