Understanding the Different Types of AI and Their Applications

Our Solutions

Different Solutions for Different Problems

At AIM, we configure AI solutions tailored to real-world business challenges. Below is a deeper look at the key types of AI we implement, their strengths, weaknesses, and the problems they solve.

Generative AI (Gen AI)

Gen AI is powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) and is designed to generate new content, including text, images, audio, and video, based on patterns learned from vast amounts of data. It operates by predicting the next most likely piece of content based on input data.

Strengths:

Scalability – Automates content generation at unprecedented speeds.
Creativity – Enables businesses to create marketing content, chatbots, and automated reports.
Personalization – Adapts to user preferences for dynamic interaction.
Acts as the communication layer for Causal AI and Agentic AI, translating complex programming logic into human-readable language (e.g., English).

Weaknesses:

Limited Reasoning – Can show research papers, but has issues independently verifying the accuracy of generated content.
Bias & Hallucinations – Can generate misleading or incorrect information if not properly trained.

Common Use Cases:

Automated content creation (marketing, reports, chatbots).
Summarization of large datasets for quick insights.
Virtual assistants for customer engagement.

Data AI & Analytics

Data AI focuses on leveraging machine learning and statistical models to analyze vast datasets, extract insights, and make predictive decisions based on historical data.

Strengths:

Predictive Analytics – Helps businesses forecast trends and customer behaviors. Pattern Recognition – Identifies anomalies and hidden correlations in data.
Decision Optimization – Improves efficiency through data-driven strategies.

Weaknesses:

Data Dependency – Requires clean and comprehensive datasets for accuracy.
Decisions are Based on Correlation, Not Causation – Data AI identifies patterns and trends but does not inherently understand why one decision is better than another.

Unlike Causal AI, which establishes cause-and-effect relationships, Data AI relies on statistical models and probability curves that may not always lead to the best business outcomes.

Common Use Cases:

Business intelligence and performance monitoring.
Fraud detection and risk management.
Customer segmentation and targeted marketing.

Causal AI

Causal AI is an advanced AI system that combines Gen AI, Data AI and Knowledge AI to provide explainable decision-making by understanding cause-and-effect relationships rather than just correlations.

Strengths:

Makes decisions and recommendations based on data as well as the knowledge of your best subject matter experts.
Great for complex decisions where cause and effect understanding are paramount.
Explainability – Provides insights into why decisions are made, enhancing transparency enabling the employee to validate the reasons for the decision.
Root Cause Analysis – Identifies factors that directly influence business outcomes. Adaptive Decision-Making – Learns and adjusts based on real-world changes.
Utilizes real-world knowledge to define the ideal solution to a complex problem, then integrates data to assess the actual state. The system identifies discrepancies between the ideal and actual state and determines the optimal approach to close the gap, guided by your specific business KPIs. This process results in 'Automated Reasoning.'

Weaknesses:

Requires structured models and expert configuration.

Common Use Cases:

Utlized in solving complex business problems or issues.
Diagnosing operational inefficiencies.
Root cause analysis in healthcare and manufacturing.
Intelligent risk assessment and mitigation.
