In​ ​this​ ​essay,​ ​I​ ​argue​ ​that​ ​the​ ​terminology​ ​of​ ​‘strong​ ​AI’​ ​and​ ​‘weak​ ​AI’​ ​can​ ​often​ ​be​ ​misleading. ​ ​Rather​ ​than​ ​thinking​ ​of​ ​artificial​ ​intelligence​ ​as​ ​‘strong​ ​AI’​ ​or​ ​‘weak​ ​AI’,​ ​we​ ​ought to​ ​more​ ​often​ ​refer​ ​to​ ​the​ ​term​ ​‘machine​ ​learning’​ ​and​ ​use​ ​it​ ​in​ ​contexts​ ​of​ ​‘efficient​ ​intelligence’ and​ ​‘effective​ ​intelligence.’​ ​I​ ​will​ ​first​ ​show​ ​that​ ​these​ ​two​ ​​ ​types​ ​of​ ​intelligence​ ​can​ ​be acquired​ ​by​ ​humans​ ​but​ ​that​ ​through​ ​machine​ ​learning,​ ​humans​ ​can​ ​leverage​ ​efficient intelligence,​ ​and​ ​that​ ​with​ ​the​ ​aid​ ​of​ ​humans,​ ​machines​ ​can​ ​leverage​ ​effective​ ​intelligence.​ ​The second​ ​part​ ​of​ ​my​…
