Intelligence specialised for a specific domain or task, lacking the ability to transfer learning across domains. ANI systems excel at their designated functions but cannot adapt to perform tasks beyond their programming.

All current AI systems are forms of ANI, designed to handle specific problems within well-defined parameters. These systems can often outperform humans in their specialised areas but lack the flexibility of human cognition. ANI represents the current state of artificial intelligence technology and includes everything from chess-playing programs to voice assistants and recommendation engines.

A specialised AI system for predictive maintenance in manufacturing that can accurately predict when specific machinery components will fail based on sensor data but cannot perform unrelated tasks like customer service or financial analysis.
