a type of artificial intelligence that is much more intelligent than any human and can think, act, learn etc. independently and beyond the abilities of people
Artificial superintelligence (ASI) is a hypothetical software-based system with intellectual powers beyond those of humans across a comprehensive range of categories and fields of endeavor. An ASI system has yet to exist and is only currently theoretical. To be considered ASI, a model would need to excel beyond human ability at a range of tasks at a very high level.

XAI noun [U]
/ˌeks.eɪˈɑɪ/
a type of artificial intelligence designed to make its decisions and processes easier for humans to understand
Sometimes, how AI reaches its output is ambiguous. In certain cases, it’s actually impossible to understand (maybe even for those who designed the AI program). So, how can we trust AI-produced accurate results if we cannot see the reasoning behind it? Explainable AI, otherwise known as XAI, aims to create transparency in this opaque aspect of AI.

UK /eɪˌdʒen.tɪk eɪˈɑɪ/ US /eɪˌdʒen.t̬ɪk eɪˈɑɪ/
a type of artificial intelligence that can make decisions and take actions without the need for human input
While previous AI assistants were rules-based and had limited ability to act independently, agentic AI will be empowered to do more on our behalf. But what, exactly, is agentic AI? “You can define agentic AI with one word: proactiveness,” said Enver Cetin, an AI expert … “It refers to AI systems and models that can act autonomously to achieve goals without the need for constant human guidance.”
